SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Rampage (16-17-7-0) received goals from Max Noreau, Michael Schumacher and Colin Smith, but fell to the Milwaukee Admirals (25-13-2-0) 6-3 in front of a season-high 8,379 at the AT&T Center on Saturday night. Reid Petryk finished with two assists on the night and now has nine points through his last six contests.
Milwaukee started the scoring quickly, getting a goal from Matt White just 1:51 into the game to take a 1-0 lead. San Antonio trailed 4-0 after the first 20 minutes of play, as the Admirals outshot the Rampage 12-8 and got two goals from Pontus Aberg and one from Vladislav Kamenev. Kamenev’s goal, scored at the 12:41 mark, was Mikwaukee’s third goal on their first six shots of the game, prompting coach Dean Chynoweth to pull goalie Spencer Martin for Roman Will. 
Milwaukee opened the second-period scoring with a power-play goal from Cody Hodgson at 5:16. The Rampage got on the board with a power-play goal of their own, as Noreau potted his sixth of the season just 19 seconds later, and the Silver and Black entered the second intermission trailing 5-1.
Aberg completed a hat trick in the third period, scoring his third goal of the game at 6:33 to give the Ads a 6-1 lead. Petryk’s cross-ice pass found the stick of Schumacher in the slot, giving the Rampage their second marker near the midway point of the period. Smith’s deflection of a Brandon Gormley slap shot gave the Rampage their third goal of the night, but despite outscoring the Admirals 3-2 through the last two periods, San Antonio fell 6-3.
The Rampage were 1-for-3 on the power play, and Milwaukee finished with two goals on six opportunities with the man advantage.
