sarniasports.com February 12th, 2011


The Petrolia Squires have taken a 3-1 series lead and can close out the MIlverton 4WheelDrives with a win on Sunday as the Squires took game 3 5-3 and game 4, 5-4.

 

Game Three

 

The Squires took a two goal lead on Milverton after Aaron Brand got his third of the playoffs in the first period, and Dan Veenema scored his third as well on the powerplay twenty-seven seconds into the second period. Milverton's Dan Rhame would get his first of the series twenty-two seconds after that to cut the lead in half, but Dreydan Delan would get his second for Petrolia to make it 3-1. But quickly again Milverton would respond with Brent Freeman's third goal of the series to end the second 3-2.

 

In the third Jason Polera would get his third of the series and his third point of the night to restore the two goal lead. Brand would get his second of the gamne on an empty net to seal the victory, though Cary Werth would get one back for Milverton seconds later, but still fell 5-3 in the game three.

 

Game Four

In game four the Squires owned the third period to take a 5-4 victory. Mike Gardner opened the scoring in the first to put the Squires up 1-0. From there they would go silent. Milverton would get that goal back at the end of the first as Dan Rhame scored shorthanded to make it 1-1 after one.

 

Second period it would be Rhame again to put the 4WheelDrives up 2-1. The Squires couldn't respond in the second and Milverton went into the final period up 2-1.

 

In the third Tyson Dejong would make it 3-1 for Milverton but the Squires were not out of it. JJ Martin would get his first of the night on the powerplay to cut the lead to just one. A minute later it would be Kyle Gould on the powerplay again as Petrolia ties it at 3-3. With the period coming to a close both teams would look for the go ahead and it would be Martin for his second of the night to give the Squires their first lead since the first period. And with just 2 minutes remaining, Jason Polera would score the fourth goal of the period for Petrolia to give them a two goal lead. Milverton would one more but couldn't find the equalizer as Petrolia takes a 3-1 series lead.

 

Game 5 goes Sunday in Petrolia.
