The Americans scored two times with the man advantage going 2-for-3. Both goals came on an Americans 5-on-3 power play. Greensboro was 0-for-3.

Americans Rookie Goalie Brett Mirwald earned a shutout in his first start for the Americans stopping all 25 shots he faced.

They Said it:

Colton Hargrove: "The two power play goals in the first period gave us a good start. We tightened a few things up defensively from yesterday and got a great start from our young goalie."

Steve Martinson: "A lot of good things to come out of this game. A much better showing tonight. Our young goalie played great. I would have liked to have scored a couple more goals, but it was nice to see us score twice on the power play. We will have Hank Crone back in the lineup tomorrow night so it should be much more of the same."

Three Stars:

1. ALN - B. Mirwald

2. ALN - S. Sedley

3. ALN - C. Hargrove
