Colorado Eagles News Release


Friday, October 29 Eagles 3 vs. Memphis RiverKings 1
The Colorado Eagles battled the Memphis RiverKings to a 3-1 victory as the goaltenders put on a clinic tonight in front of the 35th consecutive sellout crowd (5,289) at the Budweiser Events Center. The Eagles unveiled their 2003-04 Northwest Division Championship banner amidst the smoke and fog of the pre-game show, and brought the same fireworks on the ice to go to 3-0 on the season. Tyler Weiman earned the start tonight for his shutout performance against the Topeka Tarantulas and did not disappoint in his second appearance as he made astonishing save after save and kept the Eagles undefeated streak alive.

Saturday, October 30 Eagles 2 vs. Corpus Christi Rayz 6
The Colorado Eagles suffered their first loss at the hands of Corpus Christi Rayz 6-2 in front of another sold out house (5,289) at the Budweiser Events Center. Josh Blackburn stopped all but one of the Eagles 53 shots, and the Rayz scored five unanswered goals to cap the game. Ryan Carter netted two goals for Corpus Christi and five different players scored for the Rayz who set a season-high six goals.
