Greensboro Generals News Release


GREENSBORO GENERALS

The Generals haven't played since last Saturday, when they fell in overtime to the Charlotte Checkers 3-2. The Generals got off to a quick start, with Mark Turner scoring a shorthanded goal just 2:49 into the game for a 1-0 lead. The lead held up until the second period, when the Checkers retaliated with a pair of power play goals less than four minutes apart to take a 2-1 lead into the third period. Greensboro's Geno Parrish forced the extra session with his first goal of the season 7:37 into the third period, but Charlotte's Dusty Jamieson won the game at 2:20 of overtime, forcing the Generals to settle for a point in the standings. Jamie Hodson stopped 40 of 43 shots in net.

ATLANTIC CITY BOARDWALK BULLIES

The Boardwalk Bullies dropped a 7-1 decision at home to the Reading Royals on Tuesday night. After trailing 1-0 through one period, Atlantic City was blown out of the water in the second period. The Bullies allowed four second period goals, including a natural hat trick from Reading's Tom Rouleau, and trailed 5-0 entering the third period. The Boardwalk Bullies allowed two more goals in the third period, eventually falling behind 7-0 before avoiding the shutout on a J. F. Caudron score with just 2:11 left in the game.
