Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies News Release


ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Speedy forward Carl Corazzini led the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies to a 5-2 win against the visiting Cincinnati Cyclones. Linemate Shawn Maltby chipped in three assists.

Corazzini opened scoring with an even-strength tally four minutes, 23 seconds into the first period. Ryan Mougenel, who was activated from the 30-day injured reserve on Tuesday and returned to the lineup Wednesday, kicked off his new year with a power-play goal to put the Bullies up 2-0 at the end of the first frame.

Providence Bruins prospect Corazzini managed the only goal in the second period, his second of the night, assisted by Maltby and rookie Jade Galbraith, who entered the game fourth in the league in scoring among rookies.

Cincinnati churned out some offense at the beginning of the third period to close the Bullies' lead to one on a short-handed goal by Brent Twordik and an even-strength tally by Bob Crummer. But Corazzini worked his heroics and netted the game winner, his third goal of the night completing the hat trick.

Jim Henkel, who was added to the 2003 Compuware/ECHL All-Star team to replace the injured Scott Matzka, tossed in an unassisted empty-net goal with six seconds left in regulation.
