The San Diego Gulls improve to 5-0 at home and 7-1 overall with a 3-2 overtime win over the San Antonio Rampage.
Nick Ritchie opened the scoring with a goal in the 1st period. He then closed the contest with the game-winning tally in overtime to give the Gulls the 3-2 victory.
Ritchie leads the team in points scored with 8. Sandwiched around Ritchie’s two goals was a 2nd period score by Shea Theodore.
The Rampage rebounded in the 3rd to erase a 2-0 deficit and force the extra period.
