The Swift Current Innovation Credit Union Wildcats swept a weekend set with the Notre Dame Hounds, following up on Saturday’s 1-0 win with a 3-2 win on double overtime on Sunday at S3 Arenas.

Olivia Kirwan opened the scoring with 43 seconds left in the first period, and then Sophie Kuzminski tied it up with a goal midway through the second. Eden Carius scored 2:41 into the third period to put the Hounds up 2-1, but Ella Wingert scored on the power play midway through the frame to tie the game up and force overtime. After a scoreless first five-minute overtime period of four-on-four hockey, the two teams played three-on-three for another 2:48 when Caitlyn Perlinger scored to give the Wildcats their third win in a row.

Karlee Lehner made 33 saves for the Wildcats (14-5-1-0), who host Prince Albert for a pair of games next weekend.
