Greenville Swamp Rabbits News Release
GREENVILLE GRABS 3 OUT OF 4 POINTS AGAINST STINGRAYS OVER WEEKEND
DECEMBER 26, 2020 - SWAMP RABBITS 2, Stingrays 3 (SO)
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits hosted the South Carolina Stingrays Saturday night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The Swamp Rabbits erased two separate one-goal deficits before ultimately dropping a 3-2 shootout decision. Dylan Steman started the scoring for the Rays only 2:30 into the game, but Nick Poehling answered at the 6:13 mark to draw even. Next period, Mason Morelli scored unassisted for the Rays, but Samuel Jardine scored his first goal of the season on a center-point blast to tie the game. Seven minutes of sudden-death overtime solved nothing, and the game progressed to the Swamp Rabbits first shootout of the season. Andrew Cherniwchan and Dan DeSalvo scored for South Carolina in the skills competition, and Hunter Shepard made saves on all four shootout attempts to hand SC the 3-2 win.
