Zurich opened their series with a 4-2 win March 2 in Zurich on goals by Jordon Skinner, Josh Geoffrey, Chad Snell and Mike Van Aaken. Picking up assists in the win were Justin Groot, Snell with two and Jeff Mathonia. Belmont evened the series with an 8-1 win Friday with Skinner picking up the lone Zurich goal, assisted by Snell. Zurich coach Kim McKinnon said the team was never in the game and was beaten by a hungrier Belmont team. Back in Zurich Sunday, Belmont took a 2-1 series lead with a 6-1 win. Picking up the lone goal for Zurich was Snell on an assist from Devon Bedard. McKinnon said the team played better but must get back to playing their game to get back in the series. Zurich will look to tie the series Wednesday night in Belmont to force a game five in Zurich Friday night. 3-0 novice win forces game six Derek Elliott scores for the South Huron Novice Rep team against Dresden March 3 in Stephen in the OMHA semifinal.(photo/Pat Bolen) STEPHEN — The South Huron Novice Rep team forced a game six in the OMHA semifinal with a 3- 0 win Sunday in Exeter.

The other Yeck conference series will see Mt. Brydges taking on Mitchell. Mt. Brydges defeated Thamesford in five games, while West Lorne needed seven to get by Lambeth. In the McConnell conference it will be Hagersville versus St. George and Tavistock going against Pt. Dover. Hagersville defeated Langton in four games, as did Tavistock over Burford. St. George needed seven games to eliminate Delhi as did Pt. Dover which took seven games to finish off Wellesley.

In game one versus St. Mike's the Panthers played strongly for the most part and took a lead on two goals from Katie Stewart. But coach Heather Strano said the Panthers let St. Mike's back in the game. South Huron added another goal in the second and Stewart completed her hat trick in the third. But the Panthers gave up a goal with 16 seconds left to force an overtime. Strano said the Panthers played a strong overtime but couldn't seem to put the puck in the net before St. Mike's did and lost 5-4. Emily Sararas had a pair of assists in the loss with singles from Michele Weber and Stewart. In game two versus Listowel, which would decide who would go to WOSSAA, the Panthers took a lead in the second period. But again they allowed the other team to tie the game. In a make or break third period, the Panthers allowed three unan- swered goals to lose 6-4 and finish a disappointing fourth at Huron -Perth. Magen Overholt, Stewart, Weber and Jessica Bickell supplied the offence with assists from Stewart and Kristin Ferguson. Strano wishes good luck to graduating students Lea Mudge, Leanne Cronyn, Shelby Musser, Brittany Schroeder, Anne Gregus and Kelsey O'Rourke. She added she is looking forward to next year with a strong core of players back and great new ones on the way. Results from WOSSAA held at the South Huron Rec Centre March 4 were Huron Park (TVRAA) tak- ing first and going to OFSAA March 21-24 along with Madill which placed second. In third was Listowel and fourth was East Elgin.
