Renegades End Opening Weekend 1-2; Learning Lessons for Tulsa

After opening their season with a win, the New Mexico Renegades lost 8-0 and 6-4 on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday's game was a rough one for the Renegades. The Renegades stood tough though and defended themselves physically.  Things just did not click. The Brahmas' top line took over the game and never looked back.

Sunday was different though.  The Renegades held a lead for a strong portion of the game, but once again the Brahmas' top line saved them.  New Mexico did not hold on for the victory.

Coach Peter Ambroziak had this to say about the weekend:

"Friday night was great.  We competed and battled for the win.  Saturday and Sunday we learned lessons though.  As a team, we need to learn to play with the lead and hold it. Friday showed what we can do, but Saturday and Sunday showed what we need to work on.  With a solid week of practice we will be ready to face Tulsa."


Overall, the opening weekend was a success.  A crowd was in attendance to watch the Renegades open with a win, and the boys learned what they need to do to win a weekend series.  It may be a cliche, but the Renegades are focusing on "Winning the first period" in Tulsa on Friday, and going from there.
