Saturday Scores: Wildcats sweep Jackalopes

September 15, 2013

Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees 2 @ Lone Star Brahmas 1 (OT) – For the second straight night, 60 minutes would not be enough for Rio Grande and Lone Star to settle things in their weekend series, but on Saturday it was a different story than the previous night as the Killer Bees picked up their first NAHL win, defeating the Brahmas 2-1 in overtime. After Liam Stirzinger’s goal in the 2nd period for Lone Star, the Brahmas led the rest of the way until late in the 3rd period as Will Clark tied the game with just seconds remaining in regulation.  In the overtime, a rush up the ice by Rob Marsanico found the 17-year-old forward gain the high slot and wrist a shot past Brahmas goaltender Jacob Nehama for the win with just a minute to go in the OT. Nehama made 27 saves in the loss, while Olli Kalkaja made 16 saves in the win as each team comes away with three points during the weekend series. Boxscore
