SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The San Antonio Rampage fell 5-1 to the Providence Bruins on Saturday night at the AT&T Center. Bruins forward Jeremy Reich had a hat trick to power the visitors to the win.

The Bruins got on the scoreboard first as defenseman Andrew Bodnarchuk fired a shot from the left point that was deflected by forward Jeremy Reich into the net at 4:32. Reich struck again at 8:52 as he converted a great pass across the goal mouth by forward Martins Karsums for a 2-0 Bruins lead after one period. Providence out shot the Rampage 14-7 in the frame.

Forward Brad Marchand put the Bruins up 3-1 at 11:34 with a wrister to cap off a two-on-one rush. Reich then finished off the hat trick with a breakaway tally at 14:29. Forward Jordan Knackstedt finished off the scoring with an empty net goal at 18:34. FINAL SCORE Providence 5, San Antonio 1.
