The Mohawks crept to within one game of the title after winning game three of their best -of -seven - series against the Creemore Chiefs 9-3 Saturday night in Creemore, thanks to Jeff Shipley's five -goal performance and they followed it up by pounding the Chiefs Sunday night 11-3 at the South Huron Rec Centre to lead 3-1 in the series. Creemore led 3-2 after one period Saturday night but the Mohawks pumped in four second -period and three third -period goals while shut- ting down their opponents in the same time frame to take command of the game. The difference in Sunday night's game was seven -second period goals by the Mohawks, after leading only 2-1 after one period. Creemore scored a total of six goals in the two weekend games, but five of the six goals came on thepower play. The Mohawks held'a commanding 9-1 lead after two periods Sunday night and let Creemore control most of the play early in the third period and the Chiefs capitalized for a pair of goals to cut the lead to 9-3, something that concerned Mohawk coach and manager Bob Rowe after the game. "We sure didn't play well in the third period out there, but we were tough in the first two. The boys created their own breaks out there and worked hard for the win. "Pik, (Mohawk goalie Rick Pi- kul), played another super game for us and the boys responded well," said Rowe. To finish off the Chiefs tonight in Creemore, Rowe said the team will have to continue to skate and play good defensively. I. think for us to win Wednesday we have to play like we did in the first period tonight, for the entire game and don't let down in intensi- ty. Don't count Creemore out of it. I know we aren't, because they nev- er give up," said Rowe. Sunday night the Mohawks also got good scoring balance. Joe Scherer was the only player with a we pair of goals and 10 other shooters' chipped in with one goal each. Scoring single goals were; John Kernick, Dave Randerson, Jeff McClenaghan, Jeff Shipley, Wayne Urbshott, Paul Barton, Ron Elliot, Quincy Wilker and Barry Baynham with his first goal all year, regular season, Hardy Cup and playoffs. Scherer also led in the assist de- partment with three, McClenaghan, Kernick, Randerson, Al Gates, and Wilker each had a pair and singles went to Gord Brooks, Mark Soeh- ner, Baynham, Barton and Shipley. The Mohawks outshot the Chiefs 44-36 over the game, but Pikul stopped 16 of 18 in the final period to preserve the large margin of vic- tory. Saturday night the Chiefs capital- ized on a seven -minute power -play, after Dale Timmermans of the Mo- hawks was called for a five-minute major for fighting and given an ex-, tra minor for being the aggressor, :o score three times to take a 3-2 lead after one period of play.

The overall Junior D leader in points during the regular season lost the third and fourth games of their best -of -seven division semi- finals series against the Exeter Hawks, but won Monday night 6-3 toforce a sixth game tonight, (Wednesday), at the South Huron Rec Centre. The Hawks, in their quarter: final series against the Thedford Lumber- jacks, led 3-1 at one point but lost the fifth and sixth games of the se- ries before finally winning in the rubber match. "Nothing comes easy," said Hawk coach Jack Nairn after Mon- day's contest. "We beat them three times al- ready but its hard to play well all the time. Its been a good series for us so far, but nothing good comes easy," said Nairn. Irish coach Dave Revington said his team has yet to play like the team that lost only six times in 36 games during the regular season, o far against Exeter. "We played a lot better tonight, (Monday) but we are not playing anywhere near our capabilities. We scored 13 goals in the first four games of the series we averaged seven a game during the season, so I think our biggest problem has been our lack of offense," said Rev- ington. To hopefully bring them a change of luck, the Irish change all of their usual sweaters, except for goalie Brad Judd's uniform. "We had a two-hour practice on Sunday and the guys said they wanted to try something different and that is what they came up with. It seemed to work," said Reving- ton. The Hawks took command of the series by winning the third and fourth game of the series after the teams had split the first two games, each in the other's rink. The Hawks won the third game of the series 3-1 last Wednesday night at the Lucan Arena and came to within one win of taking the se -- ries by winning the fourth game, Friday night at the South Huron Rec Centre 6-2. Both goalies .played extremely well- in last Wednesday's contest, Brad Judd for the Irish and Todd Campbell for Exeter. The Irish hit no less than four goal posts behind • Campbell or the outcome could have been much different. Scott Bell gave the Hawks a 1-0 lead with his goal from Doug Clark and Dan Nairn at 7:24 of the first period. Glen Marshall's power -play tally from Darren Neil, at 12:56 of the period, got the Irish back on even terms, but it was the only time Campbell would be beaten that night. After both teams had many chanc- es to take the lead for good in the second, Clark got what turned out to be the game -winner for the Hawks, while on the power play, from Jeff Anscms and Larry Lewis, with less than two minutes to play in the second. Steve Dubarry got an unassisted, power -play, insurance goal for the Hawks at 11:39 of the third stanza to close out the scoring in the con- test. • In Friday night's chippy contest, the home -town Hawks led 1-0 after one period and 3-2 after the second and put the game away with three third -period goals.

Cousineau's short handed goal at 1:26 of the second, from Shackle- ton gave the Hawks a 2-0 lead and the upped it six minutes into the period when Shackleton chipped in with a goal from Dickins and Cou- sineau. The Irish responded almost one minute later when Tim Hayter con- nected Dean Schram and Todd Hayter and they cut the lead to one at 17:50 of the second when Brad Muir connected from Tim Hayter and Scott Dcnomy. Putting the game on ice for the Hawks in the third period were; Dickins from Cousineau and Dubar- ry, Dubarry from Jim Lewis and Mark Morrissey and Nairn closed out the scoring with a goal from Harlen Tinncy and Scott Bell. Dan Jenken, who started for Lu - can in place of Brad Judd between the pipes, stopped 28 Hawk shots and Todd Campbell tumid aside 25 for Exeter. Lucan 6 Exeter 3 •Monday's game was deadlocked 2- 2 after one period but the Irish took command and outplayed the Hawks 2 and led 5-3 after two periods. The Irish might have hit double digits if it had not been for several sensa- tional stops by Exeter goalie Bill Pauli. What seemed to turn the tide for Lucan was Joe Febrey's goal, from , Dean Doerr and Rick Weishar, with 37 seconds left to play in the sec- ond period to make it 5-3 Lucan, af- ter Exeter's Jim Lewis had cut the lead to one goal, just under a min- ute before, despite being outplayed most of the second period.
