Home-Ice Advantage Hangs in the Balance
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — The Corpus Christi IceRays (25-19-5, 55 PTS) return home with 10 valuable points after winning five of six games on their recent road trip. A strong finish to February has helped the IceRays create a five-point cushion over both Oklahoma (50 PTS) and Shreveport (50 PTS), who remain close behind in the standings.
The race for a top-six finish in the South Division remains tight as Corpus Christi continues its push for home-ice advantage in the first round of the Robertson Cup Playoffs.
Over the weekend, the Lone Star Brahmas (69 PTS) became the first South Division team to clinch a postseason berth. Meanwhile, New Mexico (62 PTS) has pulled even with El Paso (62 PTS) for second place that comes with a first-round bye. With just 10 regular-season games remaining, it appears unlikely the IceRays will improve their seeding as they hold onto fourth place. Odessa (47 PTS) sits on the outside looking in, trailing Oklahoma and Shreveport by three points, while Amarillo (40 PTS) is beginning to fall out of playoff contention.
Six of the IceRays final 10 games will be played at home, including four pivotal matchups against Oklahoma. Corpus Christi will host the Warriors this weekend at the Hilliard Center, aiming to widen the gap in the middle of the division standings.
