Rock Lobsters Drop First Game of in Danville
Danville, Ill. -Â The Athens Rock Lobsters fell 3-1 to Dashers Hockey in David S. Palmer Arena on Friday night.
In true Garrett Milan fashion, the player-coach wasted no time getting the scoring started. It took only 56 seconds for the center to pull out a highlight-reel move to the net and take an early 1-0 Athens lead.

Dasher goalie Parker Rutherford weathered the storm from the Rock Lobsters in the third period, which setup Zachary DeMarce to take the lead at the 6:39 mark.
Kabatayev got his second of the night on an empty netter, securing all three points for the home team with 21 seconds left.
The Rock Lobsters (4-1-0, 11 pts) return to David S. Palmer Arena tomorrow night to take on Dashers Hockey at 8:05 p.m. EST.
