McKenna and Scott Jackson were named the game's first and third stars.

It would've been a bad, bad scene if the Admirals had dropped all three games on the road trip. As it is, they've only slipped one game in their goal of getting back to .500, and they're back to 4 games under with a big homestand coming up.
