Dylan Handel got the Ice Wolves on the board late in the 1st to make it 3-1 Yorkton after 20 minutes.

In the 2nd, the Terriers added to their lead as Anthony McIntosh's PP point shot beat a screened Topher Chirico to regain the three goal lead and then Jye Zawatsky took a nice feed from Brett Butz & went short-side shelf for his 11th to increased Yorkton's lead to 5-1 through 2 periods. 

The Ice Wolved would make it a game in third, outshooting the Terriers 19-13 and adding three from Parker Layton, Jacob Hufty and Jaxson Martin to cut it within one but that's as close as they would get.
