SAVANNAH, GA - The Greensboro Gargoyles fell behind early in Thursday night's game and could not catch the pace of the Savannah Ghost Pirates in a 6-3 loss at the Enmarket Arena.
The Ghost Pirates scored on their first shift, 19 seconds into the game.

Savannah answered back, scoring 52 seconds later to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
Savannah opened the flood gates in the second period, scoring two goals 36 seconds apart at 4:55 and 5:31, extending a 4-1 lead. The Gargoyles got back within one with quick goals from Greg Smith and Deni Goure with 16 seconds of separation. Smith's goal was assisted by Koumontzis and Biondi at 8:23 followed by Goure at 8:39 assisted by Biondi and True Crowe, who recorded his first professional point in his first career game after signing an ATO on Thursday morning.
