Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees News Release


TULSA, Okla.- The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees (20-21-6) scored a season high six goals but allowed a season high nine to the Tulsa Oilers (22-19-5) on Sunday evening to fall to the Oilers 9-6. Zac Pearson and Dan Gendur each scored twice for the Bees in the loss.

Tulsa raced out of the gates to score four goals in the first ten minutes of the game. Tulsa started the barrage at 3:13 of the first as Jeff Terminesi scored a power-play goal. Terminesi took a David Solway feed in the slot and tapped it five-hole.

Just seven seconds later Tulsa doubled their lead as Dylan Clarke tapped a loose puck to the back of the net.

At 5:28 of the first Tulsa increased their lead to three as Solway scored a goal of his own picking up his own rebound after driving towards the net.

Tulsa finished their first period rally as Gerome Giudice took a rebound off a Tyler Fleck shot and buried it to the back of the net.

After the fourth goal John Murray was inserted into the game. Wylie Rogers made three saves on seven shots.

The Bees got a goal of their own at the end of the period as Dan Gendur deflected an AJ Mikkelsen shot to the back of the net. The goal was the 17th of the season for Gendur.

The second period would be highlighted by a four-goal rally from the Killer Bees but the rally was bookended by a pair of Tulsa goals to ensure the lead remained with Tulsa.

Trailing 5-1 Zac Pearson scored his first of two goals deflecting a Mike Wilson shot to the back of the net at 9:23 of the second.

Pearson struck again at 13:09 of the period after taking a Kirill Startsev pass Pearson ripped the shot off the far side post.

The Bees kept rolling as Brandon Campos scored at 17:11 of the second to bring the Bees within a goal and then less than two minutes later Tomas Klempa deflected a Mike Wilson shot to the back of the net to complete the rally and tie the game at five.

The Oilers would not stay silent however as a bad deflection in the Bees own zone landed the puck on the stick of Mike Ulrich who scored just 24 seconds after the Bees tied the game.

The two teams headed to the locker room with the Bees trailing by one.

In the third period Tulsa scored the first goal of the frame at 4:21 as Troy Ofukany found the back of the net for his first of the game.

The Bees would bring the score back within one at 6:03 of the third as Dan Gendur scored his second of the night. Gendur took a Wilson pass to the back of the net. Mike Wilson recorded three assists for the Bees.

Tulsa would score the next two goals, including an empty netter, to pick up the victory.
