MILWAUKEE - Reid Schaefer scored for the fourth consecutive game, but it wasn’t enough as the Admirals dropped a 5-2 decision to the Texas Stars on Friday night at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
By the numbers:
The Admirals grabbed a 1-0 advantage when Schaefer scored his fourth goal in as many games just 2:19 into the contest. Matthew Wood reached for a loose puck in the slot, but it was deflected up and Schaefer batted the puck out of midair past Texas netminder Arno Tiefensee.

Texas knotted the score at 1-1 later in the first period when Tommy Bergsland’s shot from the top of the right circle went over the shoulder of a screened Magnus Chrona at the 8:56 mark.
Less than a minute after the Stars’ Matthew Seminoff gave them a 2-1 advantage, Fedor Svehckov leveled the game at 2-2 with his second of the season. Just like the team’s first goal, this one started with a Matthew Wood shot that was saved by Tiefensee. This time, Svechkov was there to bury the rebound just over five minutes into the second.
