The San Diego Sockers scored three-straight goals in the second period to pull away from the El Paso Coyotes 9-5 on Thursday night at the El Paso Country Coliseum.

The Sockers scored first in the contest at the 09: 13 mark of the first period with a goal from Erick Tovar but El Paso’s Omar Tapia found the equalizer just 29 seconds later with an assist from Louis Herrera.

At the 13:34 mark San Diego pulled ahead once again with a goal from Raymundo Contreras but the lead was short lived as the Coyotes responded again quickly, this time in 12 seconds thanks to a Hugo Puentes goal.
