Sadie Keller scored in the second overtime period to lift the Swift Current Innovation Credit Union Wildcats to a 2-1 win over the Saskatoon Stars on Wednesday.

Karlee Lehner made 48 saves for the Wildcats as they defeated the second-place Stars to finish the season series with four wins in five attempts. Lehner improved her record to 11-4 with a 1.37 goals against average and a league leading .955 save percentage.

The Wildcats had led in the first period on a Jerzey Watteyne goal before Saskatoon tied the game with a Jocelyn Fiala marker.

Cydny Price, Kylee Hansen, and Addison Eurich added assists as the Wildcats improved to 15-8-4-0, third in the Saskatchewan Female U18 AAA Hockey League. Watteyne is second in the league with 22 goals, while Keller is tied for seventh with 31 points in 27 games.

The Wildcats will return to league action on Feb. 15 when they visit the first-place Regina Rebels with only three games remaining in the regular season.
