Kalamazoo Wings News Release


For the second straight game and for the final time in the regular season, the Kalamazoo Wings will take on the South Carolina Stingrays. Kalamazoo defeated South Carolina 5-3 on Wednesday during their annual Education Day Game.

Winning two days ago, the K-Wings snapped a three-game losing streak and in the process kept pace in the North Division. With 12 points, the K-Wings are in third place in the North Division, one point behind the second place Fort Wayne Komets. Tonight is game-four of a season-high five-game home stand.

Getting use to life on the road, this evening is game three of a season-long six-game road trip for South Carolina. The Stingrays, who have dropped the first two games of the trip, have lost four straight games away from the North Charleston Coliseum.
