The on ice struggles of the Yorkton RawTec Maulers continued Sunday at the Willow Cree Memorial Sport Centre.

The first game was a make-up affair from an earlier encounter where ice conditions caused a postponement.

The Beardys Blackhawks started the scoring with goals from Aaron Greyeyes and Nolan Doell.

In the second Anthony Roebuck put Yorkton on the board but Jaxon Penner and Griffen Ryden would respond for the Blackhawks to extend their lead to 4-1 through 20-minutes of play.

In the third the teams traded goals, one by Daylan Weigel for Beardys and Josh Peppler scoring for Yorkton to make it a 5-2 final.

Tyler Peterson was the winning goaltender for the Blackhawks facing 23-shots, while Aiden Elmy took the loss in the Yorkton net facing 36-shots.

After wrapping up the rescheduled game the teams went at it again.

This time Ryland McNinch gave the host team a 1-0 lead they carried into the second period.

The second frame was almost all Beardys as Nolan Doell, Joey Hockley, Tyler Danielson, Ryland McNinch and Daylan Weigel all scored for the Blackhawks.

Only Austin Dycer responded for Yorkton as the game headed to the second intermission 6-1 for the home side.

In the third Garrett Ellis scored for Yorkton, before Nolan Doell and Holden Knights rounded out the 8-2 Beardys win.

Matthew Hennessey was the winning goaltender facing 34 shots, while Kael DePape took the loss facing 47.

The losses leave Yorkton with a record of 2-18 and only four points, dead last in the 12-team Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League, five points back of Battlefords, and 29 back of the front running Saskatoon Blazers.
