SOUTHAVEN --- Ryan Watson, Dorian Anneck and Don Parsons each had a goal and an assist to lift the Memphis RiverKings to a 4-1 win over the Austin Ice Bats Tuesday night at the DeSoto Civic Center. Derek Landmesser added a pair of assists to help the RiverKings win their first game since December 2 at Colorado.

Memphis built a 3-0 lead on a first period goal by Ryan Watson and second period goals from Dorian Anneck and Travis Banga. It was the 9th of season for Watson and the team-leading 10th each for Anneck and Banga. Austin's Jason Kenyon made it interesting with a goal at 15:24 of the second making the score 3-1 to end the period, but Don Parsons' 9th goal of the season at 3:53 of the third period made the final 4-1.

Guy St. Vincent stopped 24 of 25 shots to improve to 4-6-0. Matt Barnes, who stopped all 51 RiverKings shots in a 1-0 win at Austin on November 26, took the loss allowing 4 goals on 35 shots.

The win ended a six game winless streak for the RiverKings and extended the Ice Bats streak to 5 non-wins.
