The second saw the Kings fall back on their heels. Yorkton would score three to make it a 4-2 game. The Terriers out shot Dauphin 24-3 in the middle frame.

In the third Yorkton continued their strong play and made it a 5-2 game before Shea Chornley (1) tallied for Dauphin to make it 5-3. That would be the final score.
