New Mexico Scorpions News Release


[ AUSTIN, Tex.]-The Scorpions went into Austin and stung the Ice Bats 3-1 on Friday night. The win was the fifth straight for New Mexico, a season high.

The Scorpions came out on fire in the first period. Dominic Osman scored his 17th goal of the season on the game's very first shift. Later in the period Konrad Reeder fed Craig Macdonald in front of the net giving the Scorpions a 2-0 lead. The first period gave the Scorpions a lot of opportunity to work on the power play with five penalties called against Austin.

The Ice Bats came out and, as expected, got a few power plays of their own in the second period. On their first attempt, Brendan Cook found a rebound and shot it past goalie Andrew Martin cutting the lead in half.

After another couple of penalty kills, the Scorpions took the momentum back on full strength. Mitch Stephens collected a Reeder rebound and pushed it to the back of the net giving New Mexico the 3-1 lead.

Saturday the Scorpions finish their road trip in Rio Grande Valley. The game begins at 6:35 p.m. with the pre-game show starting at 6:20 p.m. on 610 The Sports Animal and the CHL Network.
