NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (November 7)- The Brahmas fell short Friday night in Oklahoma City, losing to the Blazers 4-2. Oklahoma City remains unbeaten in regulation for the 2008-0 season.
Oklahoma City was able to get on the boards first with a goal from Simon Lambert at the 12:35 mark. Texas was outshot in the period 14-8. Starting in goal for the Brahmas was Brett Jaeger, and Andy Franck for the Jackalopes.
The Blazers continued to play sound behind the leadership of Franck in the second period and were able to go up 2-0 on Texas.
