LEWISTON — Sam Frechette scored in each period to finish with four goals as the L/A Nordiques overcame a 3-1 deficit in the first period and then cruised to a 12-4 victory over the Long Beach Sharks on Saturday at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.
Samuel Willis and Eric Immel both scored less than three minutes into the game to put the Sharks up 2-0.
