Alabama Slammers News Release


[Macon, Ga.]—The Trax guaranteed a win for their fans Saturday night but came up short. Ryan Prentice's goal for the Slammers at 12:03 of the final period gave Alabama the 2-1 victory.

It was a hard fought battle by both teams as they played a mostly clean but physical contest. Alabama started the scoring early when Chad Peck netted his seventh goal of the season. Macon peppered Alabama goalie Fred Beaubien with 12 shots in the first 20 minutes, but could not score.

The second period saw Alabama dominate the shots on goal board. They outshot the Trax 14-5 but Trax goaltender Geoff Faulkner made some great saves to keep the home team in the contest.

The lone goal of the second period came from Craig Miller. Miller's thirteenth goal of the season tied the game at the 15:28 mark of the middle period.

The Slammers and the Trax came out for the period and were visibly tired. Both teams used a lot of dump and chase hockey to offset the tired legs. The win moves the Slammers within 6 points of first place Jackosnville and into a tie with Miami for third place in the WHA2.
