Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
The Memphis RiverKings earned a come from behind shootout win over the Fort Worth Brahmas on Saturday night, using a shootout goal from forward Alan Carr to defeat the Brahmas 5-4 in CHL action Saturday night at the DeSoto Civic Center.
Fort Worth appeared poised for their first win of the season when left wing Chad Woollard scored his third goal of the game at the 8:13 mark of the third to put the Brahmas on top by a 4-3 score. But, with Brahmas center Lonny Bohonos in the box for a holding penalty, Memphis d-man Ted Crowley scored his second goal of the game to tie the score at 4 with just 2:14 left in regulation.
