BILOXI, MS - The Mississippi Sea Wolves won their third consecutive game on Saturday night at the Arena at Gwinnett Center by a score of 1-0 as Torry Gajda scored the lone goal in the contest and Ryan Munce earned a shutout for Mississippi.
After a scoreless first period where Mississippi was able to kill off four Gwinnett power plays, including a lengthy five-on-three Gladiators man-advantage, Mississippi had several good chances in the second frame, but found themselves unable to find the back of the net. Ryan Munce made 25 saves to keep Gwinnett off the board through the first two periods.
The Sea Wolves broke the scoreless tie at the 14:15 mark of the third period when Torry Gajda banged the rebound of Kyle McAllister's shot past Gwinnett goaltender Dan Turple.
