The Weyburn Razorbacks put up a spirited effort but were ultimately outmatched by the Moose Jaw Mustangs in PGLL action Saturday night, falling 20-10. 

The Mustangs came out firing, scoring eight times in the first period to take control of the game early. Despite a more competitive middle frame and a third-period push from the Razorbacks, Moose Jaw’s offensive depth proved too much.

Our team played really well, we played our best ball at the right time of the year. We won our three round robin games and that led us to a Winkler vs Winkler final. We had a tight, close game but our girls persevered and we came out one top."
