The Wildcats finally got back to game action on Saturday night in Hartney after a long Christmas break, defeating the Pembina Valley Hawks 4-3 in overtime in a penalty filled affair.  The girls had not played since Dec. 22nd and it showed in the opening minutes of the game as they were hemmed in for quite some time.  The Wildcats did not get their first shot of 2020 on net until 8 minutes into the game, but they made what shots they did get count with 2 goal later in the opening period by Jori Hansen-Young.  Pembina Valley would work to tie it up with a goal late in the 1st period and and 2nd goal midway through the 2nd period.  Krissy Rink would score on a breakaway on the opening shift of the 3rd period but PV would tie it with 1 minute to play with their net empty.  Gilly Gervin scored on a 5 on 3 powerplay goal early into overtime to seal the victory.  Natalie Williamson picked up the win in net.  The Wildcats host the Winnipeg Ice at 2:00 PM on Sunday.
