For the seventh time this season, the Gwinnett Gladiators defeated the South Carolina Stingrays. The victory was seen by a crowd of 7,732 during the middle of the Pink in the Rink weekend and Girls Gone Gladitors.Gwinnett scored 6:39 into the first with Pat Galivan, the Gladiators' top scorer, picking up a bad clear attempt by the South Carolina netminder, Phillip Grubauer. Galivan's tough angle shot would be the only goal until 1:40 into the final period. Defenseman Cody Brookwell slid the puck under Grubauer’s leg pad for the goal. The shot trickled in for the game winner.
Stingray Pierre-Luc O’Brien would net a goal later in the game, but South Carolina could not overcome the two goal deficit and the Gladiators were victorious once again.
Unfortunately, so was division & conference leading Greenville as they notched another victory. The Gladiators remain fourth in the division with 74 points versus the Road Warriors' 75 points. The Gladiators are fourth in the American Conference because division winners take the 1-3 spots, though the Glads have more points than the #2 and #3 teams.
