MOLINE, Ill. (December 22, 2010) - Damien Surma scored twice and Matt Lundin made 30 saves as the Evansville IceMen defeated the host Quad City Mallards 4-2 Wednesday night.

Surma gave the IceMen a lead they would not relinquish when he scored the only goal of the first period from the slot at the 2:58 mark.

Braden Desmet stretched the Evansville lead to 2-0 when he buried a Nicklas Lindberg centering feed at 5:56 of the second period. At 14 minutes of the second Surma scored his second goal of the night from the left wing circle to widen the gap to 3-0. The Mallards got on the scoreboard for the first time just 33 seconds later when Obi Aduba buried a wrist shot from the left wing circle.

Eric Giosa scored from close range to bring the Mallards back within one at 3:40 of the third period, but Lindberg's drive from the right wing circle reestablished the IceMen's two goal lead just less than two minutes later.
