CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - Danny Fetzer scored another short-handed goal for Corpus Christi in the third period, however, it was not enough to spark a comeback as the IceRays dropped their fourth game in a row with a 3-1 loss to the Wichita Falls Wildcats in front of 3,935 fans in the American Bank Center.
It didn't take long to start the scoring for Wichita Falls. Just 1:49 into the game, Brennan Parker scooped up a loose puck in front of the net on a big scramble. The shot was originally blocked, however, the rebound found a way into the net for a 1-0 lead.
The IceRays gave up a power-play goal with 9:54 left in the first period on a Renato Engler wrap-around that beat the diving Anthony Stolarz for a two goal lead after twenty minutes of action.
After no scoring in the second period, the IceRays capitalized while killing a penalty. Danny Fetzer forced a turnover and went in on a breakaway beating Matt Leon on the right side splitting the lead in half just 6:47 into the final period.
Wichita Falls secured the win with an empty netter late in regulation.
