And now it’s a best-of-three series for the Yorkton Hyundai Terriers and La Ronge Ice Wolves.

The teams split the opening two games in Yorkton, and have now done the same in games three and four in La Ronge.

After a 6-5 Terrier win Tuesday in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League series, the teams were back in action tonight.

The Ice Wolves took the lead with the only goal of the opening period, a powerplay marker by Stewart Pond.

In the second La Ronge edged to a 2-0 lead with a powerplay goal by James Philpott 4:26 in.

A short-handed, unassisted effort by Keenan Taphorn at 4:48 cut the lead in half for Yorkton.

But the two-goal Ice Wolves lead was re-established as Spencer Kennedy scored at 14:17.

The La Ronge lead grew in the third when Booker Chacalias scored at 11:18.

A short-handed effort into an empty net by Ben Manson at 16:08 rounded out the scoring on a 5-1 La Ronge win.

Matthew Pesenti took the loss in the Terrier net facing 42-shots, while Xavier Cannon earned the win for the Ice Wolves facing 41-shots.

Game five of the series is scheduled for the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton Friday.
