Dallas/Allen, Texas - The Allen Americans dropped a tight game on Sunday afternoon to the Utah Grizzlies by a score of 3-1 at Credit Union of Texas Event Center despite a season-high 48 shots.
Utah scored a pair of goals in the second frame which would end up being just enough to hand the Americans their fourth straight loss.
Luke Manning (11) and Matt Araujo (2) found the back of the net less than two minutes apart in the second frame to give Utah a 2-0 lead.
The Americans finally got on the score sheet in the third period as newly acquired forward Brad Morrison, found Noah Kan e, for his first in an Americans sweater to make it a 2-1 game.
The Grizzlies answered back in the third period with an empty net goal at the 19:11 mark of the final frame to secure the Utah victory.
