The Swift Current Innovation Credit Union U18 Female AAA Wildcats pulled off a pair of dominate wins at home this past weekend.

Hosting the Weyburn Gold Wings on Saturday night, Swift Current’s offence was just too much for the opposition to handle powering their way to a 5-0 victory.

Wildcats forwards Paris Appel and Kiana McNinch scored 83 seconds apart around the midway point of the first.

Swift Current followed that up with a duo more in the second off the stick of Sadie Keller and Tess Bakus.

Rounding out the games scoring was Jerzey Watteyne early in the third.

Wildcats netminder Karlee Lehner stopped all 23 shots she faced for her second shutout on the season.

It was a similar script for Swift Current Sunday afternoon as they waltzed by the visting Gold Wings 6-0.

“Obviously a lot of positives when you score five the first night and six tonight,” Swift Current Wildcats Head Coach Terry Pavely said. “That’s good offensive production and I thought we took advantage of our chances in the offensive zone.”

For the second time in as many games Kiana McNinch scored in the first period for Swift Current. Wildcats defenceman Caitlyn Perlinger then doubled her season goal total 2:47 apart on a pair of power plays stretching the lead to 3-0.

Wildcats leading scorer Jerzey Watteyne found the back of the net in the second and Sadie Keller netted a shorthanded goal for Swift Current just before the period ended.

With just over a minute left in the game Swift Current forward Addison Eurich rifled home a wrist shot finishing off the weekend scoring.

Swift Current’s Aurora Van Wormer turned aside 17 shots in goal to pickup her third shutout of the year.

“Both kids, obviously when you do pitch shutouts back-to-back, they made the saves they needed to make,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing we want from our goaltenders is make the saves they;re supposed to make and then anything that’s maybe out of the ordinary or those acrobatic saves those are kind of bonus ones. They did a good job of making the saves they needed to make.”

The 12-7 Wildcats will now be off from league action until January 7, when they visit the 5-9-1-1 Prince Albert Bears.
