Last Thursday and Friday we hosted the Texas Tornado for our Breast Cancer Awareness weekend in Corpus Christi. Unfortunately the weekend could have resulted better with such a special occasion and such valuable points at stake in our playoff hunt.
Thursday night we fell 6-3 to the Tornado. From the very beginning of the game the entire atmosphere of the game was slow, neither team had much to show for at all but, after a 7 hour road trip from Dallas, we should have gained the upper hand immediately but we failed to do so and Texas took advantage.
Friday night was much of the same until the third period where we came back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game 3-3 at the end of regulation. However, 12 seconds in to overtime. Off a seemingly harmless play one lone Tornado player came behind Copley and scored on a wrap around attempt. However we did pick up a much needed point for making it into overtime.
After the game on Friday we had our Jersey auction for our "Pink in the Rink" custom jerseys to help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. With all the money raised put together we came up with $24,250 all going towards the American Cancer Society!
We are now 9 points behind Wichita Falls with 11 games remaining going into the Top Prospects Tournament. Good Luck to Beau Walker and Michael Benedict who were selected from our team to attend!
