South Carolina Stingrays News Release


The Week That Was: The Stingrays played just two games last week, finishing undefeated with a 2-0-0 record.

First up, the team traveled to Charlotte to face the Checkers. In a tough battle that left the two teams tied at the end of regulation, and at the end of overtime, the Rays had to rely on the shootout to secure their victory. Goalie Josh Johnson stopped four out of the five shots from Charlotte and the Stingrays had goals from Pierre-Luc O'Brien and Stephen Werner to overcome what was an 0-2 game in the second period and turn it around into a 3-2 victory. Werner and newcomer Andrew Gordon had goals in regulation.

The Stingrays then returned to home ice for just the third game this season to face the Mississippi Sea Wolves. In a high-scoring game that saw six goals in the second period, four by the Stingrays and two by the Sea Wolves, the final score was a 7-3 win for the Rays. Gordon had two goals and added three assists on the night.
