DULUTH, Ga. - The South Carolina Stingrays (21-14-1-1) were held quiet by the Atlanta Gladiators (16-18-5-1) and goaltender Matt Ginn Saturday night, dropping their first contest after the league's all-star break by a final score of 4-0 at the Infinite Energy Center.

Stingrays' netminder Parker Milner made 24 saves in the defeat, while Ginn stopped 25 shots to record the shutout for Atlanta.

The Gladiators took an early 1-0 lead with a goal from Justin Buzzeo at 4:48 of the opening frame.
