[ODESSA, Tex.]-In was a showdown in West Texas that saw the Jackalopes beat the Scorpions 3-1 on Saturday night. The win moved Odessa into sole possession of first place in the Southwest Division.
For the second straight night, Odessa scored the game's first goal. John Kozoriz's rebound goal, on the power play, gave the Jackalopes a 1-0 lead.
The Scorpions fought back in the second period with some hard work. Andrew Smale drove hard to the net and slid a backhand shot through the legs of goalie Alexandre Vincent, tying the game 1-1.
