Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release
BILOXI, MS - Lance Monych potted three goals for Mississippi, but it wasn't enough as the Texas Wildcatters defeated the Mississippi Sea Wolves by a score of 10-5 in a wild game at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum on Saturday night
Mississippi got on the board first when Monych broke down the right wing and scored his 12th goal of the season over the glove of Texas goaltender Anton Khudobin at 6:54 of the first. Texas took a 2-1 lead into the locker room as John Adams snuck in from the point to fire a shot past Sea Wolves goaltender Morgan Cey at 17:04 and Brandon Benedict pounded a goalmouth pass from Scott Champagne past Cey at 19:13.
Texas would rattle off four goals in the second period to increase their lead to 6-1, with Max Taylor scoring his first of the night at 2:47, Kevin Baker scoring his first of the evening at 5:31, Moises Gutierrez notching his first of the soiree at 7:56, and Baker finding the net for the second time at 16:05.
