Wildcats face elimination in 4-3 loss to plucky Devilettes

Leaside Junior Wildcats have suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the plucky London Devilettes Friday night in London. The loss puts Leaside just a game away from elimination in its best of five series against London in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League.  Leaside won the first game at home but has fallen twice to London, once at home and once in London. Friday’s game featured a back and forth struggle in which the teams traded the lead twice before London’s Emily Bowman scored the winning goal at 21 seconds into overtime. It means the Leaside ladies will have to take the fourth game on enemy ice Saturday if they hope to stay in the hunt for the PWHL trophy.  Box score
