The Greenville Road Warriors wrap up their exhibition season tonight with a visit to North Charleston to take on the South Carolina Stingrays at the Carolina Ice Palace.
The Road Warriors started off the preseason home-and-home against South Carolina with a 3-2 shootout win at the BI-LO Center last night. Greenville built a 2-0 lead on goals by Justin Bowers and Brandon Wong in the first and second period, respectively. In the third South Carolina battled back with a pair of goals from Danick Paquette and Jerry Pollastrone to force overtime. After a scoreless five minutes the Road Warriors used goals from Bowers and Marc-Olivier Vallerand, and four saves from Jason Missiaen to win the shootout 2-1. The win moved Greenville to 2-0-0 all time in the preseason against South Carolina.
Tonight is the final preseason tuneup for each club as the Road Warriors and Stingrays prepare to open their seasons on October 14, 2011. Because the game is being played at the Carolina Ice Palace, it is only open to the Stingrays’ season ticket holders. Also there will not be an internet radio broadcast from the Road Warriors.
