 Evansville, In.: Following a sweep of their two games against the Fayetteville Marksmen this past weekend and having won 4 of 5 games so far in this 6-game homestand, the Thunderbolts now look to extend their 3-game winning streak this upcoming weekend against the Quad City Storm, starting this Friday night at Ford Center before traveling to the Quad Cities on Saturday.

Week In Review: 

  On Friday, the Thunderbolts rallied from a late 3-2 deficit against Fayetteville in the final minute as Scott Kirton scored in the fading seconds of regulation to force overtime, where Brett Radford scored the winning goal.  Earlier goals in the 4-3 victory came from Aaron Huffnagle and Bryan Etter.  The following night, the Thunderbolts rallied again from a 2-0 deficit with four unanswered goals, one each from Huffnagle and Felix Sasser, and a pair of goals from Fredrik Wink, as the Thunderbolts completed the weekend sweep with another 4-3 win, this time in regulation.  Huffnagle was honored this week for his efforts over the weekend, winning SPHL Player of the Week honors for his 2 goals and 5 total points in the 2 games.
