Friday: Lone Star Brahmas 1 @ El Paso Rhinos 2 – Rhinos play host this weekend to the visiting Lone Star Brahmas. On this first game of the home series defense was on point on both teams for both a scoreless first, and second periods. These scoreless periods wouldn’t be possible without Michael Manzi blocking all 7 shots on goal. Moving on to the third period Rhinos hit the scoreboard first as Tory Lund gives us our first goal of the night. The Brahmas respond less than a minute later to tie the game at 1-1, but the Rhinos wouldn’t let up. Anthony Eaton once more takes the lead with another goal, within the same minute as the last two goals. This explosive exchange would give the Rhinos a 2-1 lead which they would maintain until the end of the game.
Saturday: Lone Star Brahmas 5 @ El Paso Rhinos 0 – Rounding out this two-game series Rhinos host the Lone Star Brahmas once more. The Brahmas take the first period by storm, taking two goals courtesy of Jesse Kirkby. The Brahmas would keep this momentum going in the second period with Ivan Zadvernyuk scoring them a third goal. Down to the third period and the Rhinos still have yet to score, and with two more goals from the Brahmas, this would be a complete shutout in favor of the Brahmas. Rhinos would fall 5-0 to the Brahmas in Game #2
