The Essex 73's run for the Schmalz Cup final is over.
The 73's lost 3-2 in overtime to Ayr last night as the Centennials win the semi-final series in four straight.
Essex jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period thanks to power play goals from Tyler Scott and Matthew Hebert.
After a scoreless second period, Ayr fought back to tie it up in the third and send it to OT, where they score 32 seconds into the extra frame.
