GREENVILLE, SC – Three consecutive goals across the second and third periods proved too much for the Greenville Swamp Rabbits to handle as they fell 4-1 to the South Carolina Stingrays at Bon Secours Wellness Arena Wednesday evening.
The visiting Stingrays put the game’s first goal on the board after Shane Walsh converted on the power-play, giving his team a 1-0 lead at the 10:20 mark. Alec Rauhauser brought the game back to even less than a minute later, scoring the equalizer at the 10:54 mark thanks to a feed from Nikita Pavlychev behind the goal.
In the second period, the Stingrays established a lead, as Jordan Subban scored from the blue line, on a power-play, at the 13:57 mark to give the Stingrays a one-goal lead. Ryan Dmowski doubled that lead at the 15:33 mark, creating a 3-1 scoreline that carried over to the start of the third period.
THIRD PERIOD
The third period saw Dmowski’s second goal at 11:01, solidifying the 4-1 scoreline.
With the loss, the Swamp Rabbits fall to 16-22-4-3 while the Stingrays improve to 17-26-5-0. The Rabbits travel to Orlando to play two games against the Solar Bears at the start of next week, beginning with a Sunday afternoon meeting at 3:00 p.m.
