Jim Duhart registered four points as the Missouri River Otters held on for a 6-5 victory against the Roanoke Valley Vipers Friday night at the Roanoke Civic Center. The six goals and 46 shots the River Otters registered were both season highs.

The River Otters got off to a fast start as Scott Dobben and Jim Duhart scored breakaway goals in the first two minutes of the game. Duhart's tally was the 495th of his professional career. Roanoke Valley came right back and tied the game at two on goals by Mark Scott and Michael Wiggins. The final goal of the period was scored on a great move by Paul Falco to put the River Otters up 3-2.

The River Otters dominated the rest of the middle period, as Dobben, Falco, and Lars Pettersen added snipes to put Missouri up 6-3. The Vipers made things interesting with third-period goals from Scott and Sean Starke, but the River Otters held on for the 6-5 victory. Reiter made 22 saves for the victory while Glenn Ridler suffered the defeat.
