Augusta RiverHawks News Release


The Augusta RiverHawks capped off a perfect week-long road trip with a 7-5 victory Saturday night over the Louisiana Ice Gators. The RiverHawks once again came from behind to win as they exploded for four goals in the third period to take the victory from the jaws of the leading Ice Gators.

RiverHawks' forward Travis Dunstall continued his torrid pace since joining the RiverHawks, scoring twice and adding an assist. The evening's production gives him five goals and three assists for eight points in just five games since joining the RiverHawks. Fellow forward Aaron McGill had a big night of his own, tallying a professional career-high four assists.

The RiverHawks came out of the gates with a flurry, getting goals from Dunstall and Egor Mironov to take a quick 2-0 lead. It would last until late in the first period when the Ice Gators would get on the board courtesy of Jason Hill, who scored the first goal of his eventual hat trick.

Hill's second would come mid-way through the second period to tie the game at two-goals apiece. Dunstall would quickly regain the lead once again for the RiverHawks; however the one-goal lead would not last long. The Ice Gators roared back with three goals before the end of the second period to go up a pair.

The third period would be all RiverHawks with Egor Mironov's second goal of the game turning out to be the game-winner. Luke Lucyk, Curtis Megginson, and Lucas Labelle would also score for the RiverHawks in the period.

The victory moves the RiverHawks to within two points of second place in the Southern Professional Hockey League, and a mere six points out of first. For the Ice Gators, it was their second loss in a row after snapping a 20-game losing streak January 21st against the Mississippi Surge.
