The Mudbugs and their fans have been on a rollercoaster ride lately. The Bugs started an 8-game winning streak in December and through the holiday break. Corpus Christi ended that streak and spun them into a 3-game slide to fourth place. Shreveport snapped that streak on the last game of the 12-game homestand with first-place Lone Star Brahmas. The winning streak now stands at 3 games after a sweep of the then-second-place El Paso Rhinos. The reason they are the “then” second-place team is now Shreveport sits in that position after the sweep of the Rhino.
The Mudbugs are currently in second place in the South Division with one point over the Amarillo Wrangler and two points over fourth-place El Paso Rhinos. The Lone Star Brahmas hold a comfortable 9-point lead at 64 points in first place.
Shreveport will head further west to Albuquerque and take on the New Mexico Ice Wolves who are trying to get into that coveted top four.
Mudbugs 1, El Paso 0
Sometimes you need just that one goal to take the win. The Mudbugs did that on Friday night.
