Estero, FL - The South Carolina Stingrays (35-15-5-6) grabbed a 2-0 lead heading into the third period, but could not hold on as the Florida Everblades (30-19-4-5) came back to win 3-2 in a shootout in front of 4,548 at Germain Arena Sunday afternoon. Stingrays rookie Jake Hauswirth recorded a goal and an assist and the Stingrays fired a season-high 51 shots on goal in the loss.

After a scoreless first period, Stingrays defenseman Nick Klaren lit the lamp at 8:42 of the second frame blasting a shot from the right-wing point over the glove of Everblades goaltender Chris Beckford-Tseu for his first goal of the season.
