The Surge, who beat the Ice Bears 6-5 Thursday at Civic Coliseum,  didn’t have a chance Friday in the Southern Professional Hockey League game.

Kyle VanderMale and Emery Olauson each scored in the first period.  Mark Van Vliet and David Segal each scored in the second to give Knoxville (21-6) a 4-0 lead, forcing Mississippi (10-14-2) to pull goaltender Kiefer Smiley. Van Vliet’s goal came on the power play.
