NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX - The Amarillo Bulls took over sole possession of first place in the South Division on Tuesday night with a 4-2 triumph over the Lone Star Brahmas at NYTEX Center in North Richland Hills.

Collin Delia turned aside 21 of 23 shots he faced to post the victory in goal. Delia's shutout string lasted more than 84 minutes until the Brahmas scored in the second period.

After killing off a 5 on 3, the Bulls got their offense going thanks to their own power play. Joe Grabowski's point shot was tipped in by Michael Davis to make it 1-0 at the 13:27 mark.
