The Leaside Junior Wildcats struggled to win a 2-1 victory over the K-W Rangers in the first of their best-of-five game playoff series Saturday night at home. The go-ahead marker was scored with 24 seconds left in the game by Kristin Della Rovere unassisted. The game was marked by a rare slew-footing penalty assessed as both a double minor and a game misconduct against Emma Thomas of the Rangers. In addition to that, the Rangers took three more penalties to a total of two for the Wildcats. It may be rough series. The next game is in Leaside on Wednesday.
