NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - The South Carolina Stingrays continued their recent success last week, winning two of three games against the Orlando Solar Bears in front of their home fans at the North Charleston Coliseum. SC has now won five of their past six games and have also scored the first goal of the contest in five of their last six. A 4-3 win on Sunday continued a promising trend for the Rays this season as the team has earned points in all 16 of their one-goal games with a record of 8-0-8.

This week South Carolina will get re-acquainted with their in-state rivals, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, for four games beginning Wednesday night at the North Charleston Coliseum.

Wednesday's contest will be the ninth meeting of the season between the Stingrays and Swamp Rabbits, with SC holding a 3-1-4 record in the previous eight contests this year.
