Atlanta Gladiators News Release
DULUTH, Ga. The Atlanta Gladiators (2-0-0) scored five unanswered goals to en route to the 6-3 victory last night, at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas.
First Star: Micah Miller (ATL) - 2 goals, 1 assist
Second Star: Mitch Fossier (ATL) - 2 goal, 1 assist
Third Star: Reece Vitelli (ATL) - 1 goal, 3 assists
Allen's Colton Hargrove opened the game's scoring, capitalizing off a turnover and slapping one past Tyler Harmon (1:47).
Before the period was done, the Glads would tie the game, thanks to Micah Miller's second professional goal (16:21).
Allen would grab the next two markers, with Brandon Puricelli (11:33) and Colton Hargrove (12:43) lighting the lamp.
Then, just like that, the Gladiators went to work. Ryan Cranford (13:08) made it a one goal score with his first professional goal.
Reece Vitelli (14:23) would then convert on the power-play shortly thereafter, tying the game at three.
We entered the final frame with a 3-3 hockey game, but the momentum was squarely with Atlanta.
Micah Miller would waste no time come the third, as he potted his second goal of the evening (1:35), giving the Glads their first lead of the night.
Late in the third, Mitch Fossier would add his first goal as a Glad, giving Atlanta some breathing room (16:11).
Fossier would then put the Americans away for good, with an empty-net goal, to bring the score to 6-3 (18:29).
Tyler Harmon made 22 saves on 25 shots for Atlanta, while Mark Sinclair stopped 33 of 38 shots for Allen.
