Shreveport Mudbugs News Release


The Shreveport Mudbugs (3-4) excelled in special teams to cruise past the Oklahoma Warriors, 4-1 at George's Pond in Hirsch Coliseum Friday night.

SHV got on the board at 10:32 of the opening period as Evan Adams slapped in his first goal of the season from the left point which snuck its way through to give the Bugs a 1-0 edge. Cam Mcewan and Ian Emery picked up the assists. OKW would even the score at 19:25 as Colby Lyons threw a laser toward the net and got his first tally of the year to make it a 1-1 contest. The Bugs led in SOG, 13-8 after one.

SHV regained the lead on the PP at 6:17 of the second period when Lucas Deeb had an initial shot stopped by their goalie, but was able to chip across a rebound from the far side for his fourth tally of the campaign. Captain Brent Litchard earned the only helper on Deeb's PP goal to give the home team a 2-1 edge. The Bugs led in SOG, 25-13 after two.

SHV got a big goal shorthanded as Brent Litchard fed Bryce Boucher crashing towards the net who tipped home his second goal in as many games to increase the lead to 3-1 just 40 seconds into the third period. The Bugs put the icing on the cake and the cherry on top as Carter McKay smacked in an EN goal at 19:53 to seal up a 4-1 victory.

Aden Gariepy earned his first win in net making 22 stops in net on the night.

The Bugs and Warriors will conclude their two-game series tomorrow night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:11 P.M. from George's Pond in Hirsch Coliseum.
