Bloomington PrairieThunder News Release
The Bloomington PrairieThunder staked the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs to a 3-0 lead before falling 4-2 on Saturday night at U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Bossier-Shreveport's lamp lighters came from veteran Travis Clayton, Justin Atkins, and Andy Contois. Contois' goal at 13:07 of the second period turned out to be the game winner. The PrairieThunder got third period goals from Jason Williams and John Snowden before Steven Crampton scored into an empty net for the Mudbugs to make the final 4-2.

Bloomington now stands at 34-20-6 on the year and their loss coupled with Wichita's 5-3 win over Missouri makes things very interesting heading into the final six games of the regular season.
