Despite outshooting their opponent the Westman Wildcats fell 1-0 to the Xtreme on Thursday afternoon in Wilcox.  The Xtreme goal came off of a wraparound late in the opening frame.  The Wildcats appeared to tie it up in the 2nd period on the powerplay but the goal was waved off by the official due to a player's skate being in the crease, thus interfering with the goalie.  Jillian Szabo was solid in the Wildcats net, stopping 19 of 20 shots.

The Wildcats now face their sister team from Saskatchewan, the Swift Current Wildcats at 10:30 on Friday morning.

The Westman Wildcats defeated the Eastman Selects 4-2 on home ice today in Hartney.  Charly Lindberg scored two goals to lead the Wildcats to victory. Natalie Williamson picked up the victory in net, stopping 15 of 17 shots.
