Forwards Joey Diamond and Jack Downing each scored two goals and an assist and defenseman Lee Moffie added a goal and two assists to take down the Road Warriors 5-1. Goaltender Adam Morrison provided 38 saves in the victory.

The Stingrays kicked off a three-game in three-day weekend and five-game homestand Friday at the North Charleston Coliseum taking on the Florida Everblades with the visiting team prevailing 4-1. Forward Wayne Simpson scored the lone goal for the Stingrays. The two sides would rematch Saturday evening with the Everblades slipping away 5-4. The Stingrays claimed an early 2-0 lead behind goals from forward Joe Devin and Branded Gracel (shorthanded), but Florida responded with two tallies late in the frame to tie the contest heading into the intermission. In the second period, the Everblades pulled away with two goals 24 seconds apart.
