Jockims’ monster night gives Saskatoon 4-1
win in Game 2
 |
| Kaitlin Jockims had three points for the Stars on Monday. |
With the win, the Stars take a commanding 2-0 lead in the
best-of-five series. They will have their first chance to close out the series
and win the Fedoruk Cup for a second straight year in Game 3 on Tuesday at 6:30
p.m. at Merlis Belsher Place on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon.
In Monday’s game, the Rebels opened the scoring at the 10:51
mark of the first period on a goal from 15-year-old sophomore defender Sydney
Pedersen.
The Stars evened things up at 1-1 at the 3:34 mark of the
second, when Jockims netted her first of the contest.
With under three seconds to play in the second period,
Jockims teamed up with captain Grace Shirley to set up Anna Leschyshyn for the
go-ahead goal on the power play to give Saskatoon a 2-1 advantage.

Arden Kliewer made 20 saves to pick up the win in goal for
the Stars. Chantel Weller turned away 23-of-26 shots to take the setback in net
for the Rebels.
Saskatoon finished first in the SFMAAAHL regular season with
a 27-1 mark, while Regina was second with a 17-7-4 record.
The Stars are trying to win their fourth SFMAAAHL title in
the last five years. The Rebels won their lone SFMAAAHL title in 2013.
If the Rebels win Game 3 on Tuesday to stay alive in the
series, they would force a Game 4 to be held in Regina on Thursday at 7:45 p.m.
at the Co-operators Centre. If a series-deciding Game 5 is required, it will be
held on Sunday at 5:15 p.m. at Merlis Belsher Place.
