MUDBUGS SHUTOUT ODESSA, REMAIN UNDEFEATED AT HOME

The Mudbugs had great goaltending between the pipes in their second home game of the year as Ken Carroll made 34 saves to carry the Bugs to victory. It was only the third start of the year for Carroll. Daniel Pegoraro scored both of the games goals, once in the first period and an empty net goal at the end of the game. The 2-0 victory evened the Mudbugs record at .500.

BUGS GET THE JUMP ON AUSTIN, WIN 4-1

The Mudbugs dominated the first period of play, striking first as Daniel Pegoraro would score his third goal in two games to start it off for Bossier-Shreveport. Karlis Zirnis knocked in a rebound to make it 2-0 at the end of the first period. Chris Brassard scored the second shorthanded goal of the year for Bossier-Shreveport in the second period. John DeCaro allowed only one goal. He fought off a voracious Austin forecheck in the second and third period and earned his first regulation win of the season.

OVERTIME THRILLER ENDS IN LOSS AT LAREDO
