QUICK BITS
ATL TO GVL:
The Swamp Rabbits take on the Atlanta Gladiators for the second night in a row, this time traveling back to Greenville for a Sunday afternoon home game. Swamp Rabbits Fell to the Gladiators 6-4 on Saturday night despite taking an early lead. Roshen Jaswal scored his first career ECHL goal giving the Swamp Rabbits a 1-0 lead in the first. Less than two minutes later Cody Sylvester would tie the game for Atlanta. Thanks to a Jackson Leef goal at 5:43, the Rabbits would take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. Early in the second, Mike Pleech tied the game at two before Kameron Kielly's goal, which gave the home team their first lead of the game 2:42 into the second period. Atlanta extended their lead to 5-2 in the third, on the back of Sylvester and Kielly, the second of the game for both skaters. Cuglietta and Pecararo gave the Bits a glimmer of hope, cutting the lead to one with just 1:10 left to play. Hugo Roy put the nail in the coffin with an empty net goal as the game drew to a close. Atlanta is 9-8-2 this season, outscoring opponents 56-54 in games this season.
PARTY WITH PECS:

DAILY DIEGO:
With a goal Saturday night, Swamp Rabbits forward, Diego Cuglietta extended his point streak to three games, making it two goals and three assists in the last five games. Cuglietta has not slowed down since taking the ice in a Greenville sweater, recording points in all but two games since joining the squad on 11/9. A crafty and speedy skater, Cuglietta has been a pivotal member of this Swamp Rabbits roster and continues to make his teammates and himself better.
