NORTH CHARLESTON, SC – A four-goal second period lifted the Greenville Swamp Rabbits past the South Carolina Stingrays, 6-2, on Tuesday night at the North Charleston Coliseum.
After the Stingrays produced early offensive pressure on the Greenville net, the Swamp Rabbits countered with an odd-man rush that saw Max Zimmer feed Anthony Beauchamp on the backside circle for Beauchamp’s fifth goal of the season at 6:14.
Greenville fired out of the gate and scored 6:09 into the second period, as Bryce Reddick took a stretch pass from Ayden MacDonald and sniped it into the back of the net for his second of the season. The Swamp Rabbits extended their lead to a 3-0 score-line, as MacDonald cleaned up a rebound for his seventh of the campaign at the 9:39 mark. Jordan Subban gave South Carolina a much-needed answer as he lifted his fifth of the season into the net at 14:42. In the late stages of the period, Liam Pecararo scored his team-leading 20th goal of the season at 19:35, before Brett Kemp pushed a rebound into the back of the net with one second left in the frame to establish a 5-1 score-line for Greenville.
THIRD PERIOD
Into the third, Adam Parsells scored his first goal as a Swamp Rabbit at 2:01 to grow the Swamp Rabbits advantage to five goals, before Chaz Reddekopp scored a mid-period goal for the Stingrays to solidify the 6-2 score-line.
With the win, the Swamp Rabbits improve to 16-18-4-3, while the Stingrays fall to 16-24-4-0.
The Swamp Rabbits return home to Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Friday, February 18, to take on the Atlanta Gladiators for the first of three games at 7:05 p.m.
