South Carolina Stingrays News Release
Duluth, GA - Forwards Tyler McNeely (two goals, one assist) and Hunter Bishop (one goal, two assists) each recorded three-point games, but the South Carolina Stingrays (13-16-1-3) could not overcome the Gwinnett Gladiators (20-10-1-0), falling 5-3 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center Thursday evening.
Gladiators forward Doug Jones opened the scoring with his team-leading 11th goal of the season at 15:06 of the first period tipping a pass under Stingrays goaltender Jeff Jakaitis (L, 19 saves on 23 shots).
Forward Andy Brandt made it a 2-0 Gladiators lead at 6:14 of the second frame.

Forward Robby Dee added the second assist. Bishop tied the contest at 18:02 with help from McNeely and Dee.
The Gladiators reclaimed a two-goal advantage behind goals from rookie Evan Bloodoff and defenseman Russ Sinkewich 23 seconds apart at 12:06 and 12:29 of the third period. McNeely pulled it back within one at 13:22 from Bishop, but Gladiators forward Scott Arnold sealed the victory with an empty-net goal at 19:58.
