On a grander scale, Turnbull is tied for second in the entire league with eight goals and is top 10 with 13 points.
DOWN BUT NEVER OUT
South Carolina found themselves trailing by multiple goals in the last two games but found a way to come back in each contest. On Tuesday against Jacksonville, the Stingrays netted a goal from Bear Hughes with 1:09 remaining in regulation with the comeback coming up short. It was a different story on Friday as the team trailed Savannah by a pair of goals before tallying four unanswered markers to close out the Ghost Pirates in the first-ever meeting.
