First Roadtrip of the New Year

In our first road trip of 2011 we had three games, two against New Mexico on Thursday and Friday and one against Amarillo Saturday night.

Thursday night was disappointing in many ways, Coach came up to me before the game and told me that they wanted to give Fitzpatrick our newest defensmen a shot at proving himself because he had yet to have a game under his belt. I was told that I would be sitting out that game, unfortunately my parents had drove down for the game to see me play but i was able to sit with them. We ended up losing the game 6-0 an embarrassing loss to the last place team.

However the next day we came out with a fire under us. We came out hard, dumped pucks, finished hit and were defensively sound. we won in a deciding 4-1 final. Coach was pleased with our 3 period comeback effort and spirits were high going into Amarillo, currently ahead of Wichita falls in the 3rd place seed.

High spirits would not last long however, we blew a 2-1 lead going into the second period in a 6-3 loss to the Bulls.

We have a two game weekend at home against the Bulls this coming weekend. Looking for a much needed four points to tie in the points race with Wichita Falls for the final playoff seed.
