It stayed tied into the third period, when the Generals pulled away for the victory. Pete Gardiner scored the eventual game-winning goal while shorthanded two minutes into the final frame. Matt Chandler then provided the Generals with an insurance goal five minutes later. Daniel Berthiaume made 34 stops to earn the victory.

SOUTH CAROLINA STINGRAYS

The Stingrays defeated the Columbus Cottonmouths 4-2 on the road last Friday. The Stingrays spotted Columbus an early 1-0 lead, but Mike Jickling tied it up later in the period. South Carolina took the lead for good by scoring the only two goals of the second period off the sticks of Joel Irving and Brent Henley for a 3-1 advantage. Jickling's second goal of the night in the third period finished off a four-goal run for a commanding 4-1 lead, and the Stingrays coasted from there, allowing the last goal of the game in the final minute of play.
