LAST WEEKS GAMES

Wednesday vs Allen Americans, 3-1 Loss

The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees (3-4-0) fell to the Allen Americans (3-2-2) on Wednesday night by a 3-1 score. The two teams played a 2-1 game for a majority of the evening but a late Colton Yellow Horn goal iced the victory for the Americans. David Marshall recorded the lone Bees goal.

Friday vs Arizona Sundogs, 4-3 (SO) Win

It looked like the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees (4-4-0) were going to be stopped by some stellar goaltending but a third period rally sent the game to extra time against the Arizona Sundogs. David Marshall, Dan Gender, and Zac Pearson scored in the shootout to cap the come-from-behind win and score a 4-3 win over the Arizona Sundogs (2-4-3) Friday night at State Farm Arena.
