Corpus Christi IceRays News Release
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The Corpus Christi IceRays lost to the Lone Star Brahmas by a 3-1 final Friday at American Bank Center.
With their win against the IceRays (13-23-3-3, 32 pts.), the NAHL-leading Brahmas improved to 32-8-0-1 (65 pts.) on the season.
Lone Star defenseman Matthew Rickard opened the scoring with a shot from the left point 11:35 into the game. Brahmas forward Joey Baez made it 2-0 under three minutes later with his NAHL-leading 27th goal of the season.
Thomas Daskas improved the visitors' lead to 3-0 with a tally on the power play at 11:54 of the second period. The IceRays appeared to have scored about 12 seconds later, but the goal was disallowed due to the puck crossing the line after a whistle.
Corpus Christi's Stephen Kyrkostas scored from the side of the crease at 8:18 of the third period to get the IceRays on the board. The goal was the first allowed by the Brahmas in nearly three games (175:56) dating back to last Friday.
Netminder Jeremy Forman was pulled late in the game in favor of an extra attacker, and the IceRays quadrupled the Brahmas in third-period shots, 12-3, but the game remained a 3-1 score until the final horn.
