NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – The South Carolina Stingrays seven-game win streak came to an end as they fell to the Toledo Walleye in a shootout, 4-3, on Saturday night at the North Charleston Coliseum in front of 5,370 fans.
After only mustering one goal on Friday, Toledo (35-14-4-4) struck quickly on Saturday. Mitch Lewandowski scored only 24 seconds in giving the visitors a 1-0 lead.
South Carolina (38-18-1-1) searched for a response, and found one less than four minutes later. Romain Rodzinski deflected home a shot from the point, tying the game at one.

After the early flurry offensively, both teams settled in as the Stingrays and Walleye went to the second period tied. In the second period, the Stingrays took their first lead of the night nearly midway through the frame. Bryan Moore found Ben Hawerchuk on a breakaway and Hawerchuk slotted home the go-ahead goal with 10:30 left in the second period.

After the Stingrays killed off a penalty eight minutes into the third period, the Walleye tied the game minutes later. Tanner Dickinson scored with 10:11 left in regulation knotting the contest, 3-3.
