GREENVILLE, S.C. - Mark Auk recorded a goal and assist, but the Orlando Solar Bears (9-8-1-0) could not overcome the flood of offense unleashed by the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (9-4-5-2) en route to an 8-2 loss on Thursday night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Led by Matt Bradley, who opened the scoring at 2:34 of the first period, Greenville took a 2-1 lead into the dressing room after the opening frame, and extended the lead with a pair of second-period goals.
