Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas - The Texas Brahmas took sole possession of the Southeast division Saturday night in Laredo as they defeated the Bucks 4-1 behind Justin Kinnunen's three goal effort.
Laredo was able to get on the boards first, but Brahmas netminder Brett Jaeger anchored the strong defensive play, allowing only one goal for the evening. Texas' All-Star defenseman Kinnunen did the rest of the damage scoring and even strength, powerplay and shorthanded goal in the game. It was Kinnunen's first hat trick in his CHL career. Assists were credited to Pete Rouleau, Scott Sheppard and Craig Minard. Jordan Cameron recorded his 13th goal of the season from Nathan Saunders.
Texas went 1 for 8 on the powerplay and are now 20-9-3, and currently riding a four game winning streak. The Brahmas next game is on the road in Tulsa Tuesday night.
