CHECKERS HOLD OFF SEA WOLVES

Charlotte, N.C. - The Checkers wanted to bounce back after a shootout loss Wednesday by defeating the struggling Mississippi Sea Wolves on Saturday night.

In the first period, while the Checkers were shorthanded, blueliner, Kirk DeWaele sent a great pass through center ice and on the stick of forward, Mark Lee who buried his breakaway opportunity at 11:29 putting Charlotte up, 1-0. Moments later, on the very same power-play, Mississippi would make up for Lee's goal when a rebound off the pad of Checkers netminder, Matt Zaba landed right on the tape of Sea Wolves forward, Chase Trull who slammed it home at 12:41 tying the contest, 1-1. Later, Checkers right wing, Shawn Vinz netted his first goal of the season when his shot from the slot flew behind Sea Wolves goaltender, Len DiCostanzo at 17:23 putting the Checkers up, 2-1. Less than one minute later, Mississippi would answer back in the form of a goal from Radek Smolenak at 18:06 ending the period with the teams locked at 2-2.
