YORKTON - The Yorkton Terriers are back to their winning ways.
After suffering their first loss of the SJHL season Oct. 6, in a rare afternoon match up, the Terriers were back on home ice tonight hosting Nipawin.
The Terriers started things with a late first period effort. Dustin Renas scored the goal at the 18:45 mark.
An unassisted effort by Thierry Laliberte 3:44 into the middle stanza made it 2-0.
The Hawks finally found the twine when Eric Hoiness cut the lead in half with a goal at 12:16.
The one goal margin held until the final minute of the contest when Jye Zawatsky scored into an empty net to round out a 3-1 win.
Callum Creig was in the Terrier net facing 26-shots in the win.
Gage Roberts faced 34-shots in the Hawks net in the loss.
The victory leaves Yorkton with a 6-1 record, and 12 points to sit atop the Viterra Division, one point up on Melville. Estevan sits third with five points, followed by Weyburn with four.
Yorkton is back in action tomorrow (Saturday), heading south to face Weyburn.
