BILOXI, Miss. � Kent Davyduke made his Sea Wolves debut a memorable one by scoring a dramatic overtime goal, just five seconds in the extra session as Mississippi defeated the Louisiana IceGators 4-3 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.

Louisiana (15-5-5) opened the score just 13 seconds into the game. Bruce Richardson slapped a shot past Greg Gardner, making it 1-0 for the IceGators. Richardson�s goal was his 14th of the year.

Mississippi (15-9-2) tied it at 9:27. Dwayne Blais pressured in the IceGators end and centered for Darryl Campbell, who beat Kyle Kettles. The goal was Campbell�s second of the season.

In the second period, Dave Paradise gave the Sea Wolves the lead by wiring a left circle shot past Kettles.

Mississippi was up 2-1, but at the 8:23 mark of the middle stanza, referee Chris Brown made two calls. Sea Wolves forward Cody Bowtell was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for tripping and teammate Travis Lisabeth was also handed an two-minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

On the ensuing 5-on-3 Louisiana power play, Bobby Brown would score to knot the score 2-2.

Then a little over two minutes later, Daniel Goneau fired a shot from the slot, beating Gardner to the stick side, giving Louisiana a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes.

In the third, the Sea Wolves knotted the score on the power play. Davyduke fed Paradise, who unleashed a quick one-timer into the back of the net. Paradise with his second of the game, has 16 goals on the year.

The game went to overtime, tied 3-3. Just five seconds into the extra session, Bowtell got the puck to Davyduke. The Sea Wolves rookie wired a left circle shot past Kettles to give Mississippi a thrilling 4-3 overtime win. It was the fastest goal in Sea Wolves and ECHL overtime history.

Gardner made 25 saves on 28 shots, improving his record to 12-7-2. Kettles suffered the loss turning away 37-of-41. His record falls to 4-3-0.
