North Charleston, SC Joe Tenute scored two of the South Carolina Stingrays’ four goals and Maxime Daigneault had thirty four saves, leading the Rays to their ninth straight win against the Johnstown Chiefs Saturday afternoon in front of 3,868 fans at the North Charleston Coliseum.

Johnstown defense Pierre Courchesne scored the Chief’s first goal 18:28 in the period, assisted by Shawn Mather and Steve Hildenbrand.



Less than five minutes into the second period, South Carolina quickly regained the lead as Joe Tenute, with the help of Ed Courtenay and Mark Ardelan, scored the Stingray’s first power play goal of the game. Halfway through the period, Jeremy Stevenson scored the Ray’s second power play goal, with assists from Rich Peverley and Trevor G. Johnson.



Johnstown defense David Bowman scored at the beginning of the third period, with assists by Joe Tallari and Jonathan Tremblay, making the score 3-2. Joe Tenute of the Stingrays fired back two minutes later, regaining the two point lead. He was assisted by Mark Ardelan and Matt Reid.

The Stingrays went 1-5 on the power play and held the Inferno 0-9 on the man advantage with a short handed goal.



Rich Peverley picked up where he left off in the first period scoring his team leading 16th of the season. With the Stingrays on the penalty kill at 15:57 of the period Matt Reid found Peverley on a two on one and the rookie flipped the puck past Rob McVicar for his eighth goal in five games.
