Scoring big goals is becoming the norm for Texas Brahmas forward T.J. Fox who has spurned his team’s comeback in their best-of-7 series with the Allen Americans that now sees the Brahmas leading two games to one.
In Game 2, the Oswego, New York native broke a three-all tie with less than three minutes to play with his first goal of the series. The Brahmas won the game in Allen, 4-3, and tied their series at a win apiece.
For an encore, Fox delivered two huge goals on Wednesday night as his team rebounded from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Americans, 5-4. The first for Fox was a shorthanded breakaway goal in the second period that gave Texas their first lead of the night at 3-2. The second was once again the game winner as Fox delivered a snapper from the right circle beating Allen’s Marco Cousineau in the third period to make the score 5-4, the ultimate final.
