Despite playing their fourth game in only five days against a Havoc team who only played one game in the same span, the Thunderbolts battled hard and kept things close with a strong effort in their 3-0 loss in Huntsville on Tuesday night.  The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Saturday, December 10th against the Vermilion County Bobcats at 7:00pm CT.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), go to EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or visit the Ford Center Ticket Office. 

The Havoc struck first at 10:46 of the first period, as Tyler Piacentini made it 1-0 Huntsville off a net-front rush that bounced off a body and over Zane Steeves.  Evansville nearly tied the game on the power play early in the second period, but a good chance ended up hitting the crossbar.  Later in the second period, Rob Darrar scored to make it 2-0 Havoc at 14:08, again a tough-bounce goal on a shot that was partially blocked and deflected past Steeves.  Piacentini added another goal in the empty net as the Thunderbolts pulled Steeves for one last attack, making it 3-0 with 1:26 remaining in the third period.   

Steeves stopped 27 of 29 shots faced in net.  These two teams meet again on December 23rd at the Von Braun Center.
