GREENVILLE S.C – Two first-period power-play goals and a three-point performance from Anthony Rinaldi lifted the Greenville Swamp Rabbits over the first-place Florida Everblades 3-1 on Saturday night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
In a penalty-filled first period, Greenville would strike first with a power-play goal at 14:51 by Anthony Beauchamp, his first of his career, coming on a major penalty assessed against Florida. Then, on that same power-play, Greenville added a second goal by Austin Eastman, his second in as many career games, at the 17:15 mark.
In the third, the Everblades cut the deficit in half with a goal from Blake Winiecki, his 17th of the season, at 9:59. Then, just beyond the midway point of the frame, Anthony Rinaldi tallied his third point of the game with a snap-shot goal at 10:37 to secure a 3-1 scoreline.
