The Stingrays dropped a 5-1 decision against the Savannah Ghost Pirates in front of 6,000+ fans on Saturday night at the North Charleston Coliseum. Josh Wilkins scored for the Stingrays, while Seth Eisele made 21 saves in the loss.
Wilkins made it 1-0 when a loose puck found him in front of the net, and he knocked in his eighth goal of the season. Savannah tied it at one on a redirection from Liam Arnsby, who tipped in an Evan Nause shot to even the score.
Savannah pulled ahead with a power play strike by Dennis Cesana. They made it 3-1 when Kyle Jeffers buried a breakaway goal right after a penalty against him expired. Will Riedell extended Savannah’s lead to 4-1 when he riffled a wrist shot past Eisele from the high slot.
The lone goal of the third period came off the stick of Nick Granowicz, who buried a shorthanded tally 12:08 into the final frame.
