Ice Pilots Head Home After 3-1 Loss at Texas
March 9, 2008 - ECHL (ECHL)
Pensacola Ice Pilots News Release
BEAUMONT, TX - The Ice Pilots finished off the season series with the Texas Wildcatters falling 3-1 at Ford Arena on Sunday.
Plenty of power plays in the first period didn't result in any scoring as the Ice Pilots went 0 for 4 and Texas was unable to get anything going as well and it was scoreless after 20 minutes of play.
Special Teams continued in the second period. Texas scored the game's first goal for the third straight game in the series as Ross Carlson found the back of the net on the power play for his 18th goal of the season. The Pilots responded as Jason Bloomingburg scored his second goal in as many nights to tie the game at one. It came on the power play from Mathieu Roy and Bryan McGregor.
Texas went back ahead as Jordie Preston lifted a backhanded shot past goaltender Cam Ellsworth to make it 2-1 and then Mark Fulton added some insurance to give the Wildcatters a 3-1 victory.
The Ice Pilots will head back to Pensacola and begin a three game series on Saturday night as the Charlotte Checkers visit the Hangar for their one and only time this season.
Don't miss the hard hitting, exciting action, as the Ice Pilots' next home game is Saturday, March 15 at 7:05 p.m. vs. the Charlotte Checkers at the Civic Center. It is Military Night as the Ice Pilots will dress in camouflage jerseys which will be auctioned off. Group Tickets and Military Packages are still available through the Ice Pilots office.
