The Mississippi Sea Wolves played the visiting Monroe Moccasins on November 27th 2024.

The lone goal in this period scored at 9:00 by #96 Blake Keller and assisted by #86 Chuck Costello and #4 Matt Stoia.

Penalties continue to rain down on both teams as we head into the second period. However, Mississippi wasn’t able to capitalize on any of the 5-4 and even 5-3 opportunities they were gifted. However, at 3:27, #29 Jay Croop found the back of the net through the 5 hole of the goaltender with assists by #94 Colby Audette and #39 Noah Hippolyte-Smith. However, the Monroe Moccasins managed to get one passed the goaltender. This came at 14:29 when #5 Ben Stefanini got an unassisted goal during a power play.

The third period continued to show fireworks as the Monroe Moccasins continued their scoring streak with two in a row. First with a goal at 4:29 by #5 Ben Stefani and assisted by #7 Declan Conway and #77 Kalle Koivuniemi.
