Greensboro Generals News Release


GREENSBORO, NC—One key point that is often brought up in the sporting world is the importance of winning at home. For the second time in three games the Greensboro Generals (3-2-0) lost on their home ice, falling short of Trenton Titans 4-1 at the Greensboro Coliseum.

The Titans (2-3-0) scored two goals in the opening period, the first coming off a laser shot from Devin Rask, taking a 1-0 lead at the 5:57 mark. Trenton would strike with a second goal, when with just over a minute remaining in the period, Matt Zultek sent a shot past Generals netminder Daniel Berthiaume, giving the Titans a 2-0 heading into the locker rooms.

In the second, Greensboro's Eric Fortier scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season, and third in as many games to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Fortier goal marked the only power-play conversion for either team in the game, with both teams having five opportunities. Trenton would retaliate with a goal of their own, as Bryce Coble provided the Titans with a two-goal cushion, making the lead 3-1 at the 11:42 mark of the second.

Trenton scored the lone goal of the third period, when Matt Zultek registered his second of the game at the 11:25 mark, to make the final score 4-1. The Titans were led by the defensive effort of goalie Andrew Allen who stopped 31 Generals shots on goal. The loss snaps a three-game winning streak for the Generals, as well as a three-game home winning streak over the Titans.

When the Greensboro Generals face the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies on Halloween night (Friday, October 31st), kids who come to the Coliseum dressed in a costume will receive free admission. In addition, all kids wearing a Halloween costume will receive a "treat" of a Generals tattoo packet, including logos of the team.
