The Westman Wildcats fells 3-1 to the Winnipeg Avros on Friday night in Winnipeg.  The two teams played to a scoreless opening period, despite both teams having some really clean looks on net.  The Wildcats had the first really good opportunity of the 2nd period but they were unable to score on the breakaway.  The Avros finally broke the tie with a shot from the point that deflected off something and made its way into the back of the net.  They would follow up with two additional markers midway through the 3rd period to make it 3-0.  The Wildcats responded with a goal very early on a 5 on 3 powerplay and still had a lot of time to work with 5 on 4 but they were unable to score again.  Natalie Williamson suffered the loss in net.  Game 2 goes Sunday afternoon at 2:00 PM in Hartney.  Come out and support your Wildcats.

The Westman Wildcats had a huge 3rd period , including 3 unanswered goals and 3 penalty kills (one a result of their head coach's lack of self-discipline) to come back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Eastman Selects 3-1 in the deciding game of the series. Belle Hobbs started the comeback early in the 3rd period with a blistering shot off the post and off an Eastman player and into the net.  Shaylee Scraba followed up with a beautiful finish off a 2 on 1 pass from Jori Hansen-Young just after the end of a penalty kill. Krissy Rink finished it off with an insurance marker with 1:47 remaining in the game.  Natalie Williamson picked up the win in net stopping 20 of 21 shots.  The Wildcats now move on to the league semi-final against the first place Winnipeg Avros.  Game 1 goes Friday night in Winnipeg at the Seven Oaks Arena.  Thanks to all the fans who came out to support the Wildcats.  Your support means so much to the girls.
