MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM -- The Moose Jaw Mustangs didn’t leave much to chance in the Â鶹´«Ã½AV Sask Lacrosse League U15 division league playoffs this past weekend in Weyburn.

Three games, three comfortable wins and just like that, a SSLL title.

The Mustangs opened the weekend with a 6-2 win over the Weyburn Youngfellows Thrashers before advancing to the final with a 4-1 victory against the Swift Current Rampage. The title game was more of the same, as the Mustangs rolled to an 8-3 win and the gold medal.

Moose Jaw scored a pair of goals each period to open the tournament with a solid win.

Hudson Maloney opened scoring for Weyburn not long after the opening face-off, but Cooper Fulton and Slade Trembley replied for the Mustangs before the period was out.

Rylan Deichert and Connor Livingston scored 29 seconds apart midway through the second period to make it 4-1 Moose Jaw, with Fulton and Brett Bowerin then adding insurance markers in the third.

Kevin Pouteaux scored the Thrasher’s second goal with 12 seconds to play.

A pair of goals each in the second and third period proved to be the difference as the Mustangs took their semifinal win.

Deichert and Tremblay had second period goals for Moose Jaw, and markers from Fulton and Joseph Jackson 48 seconds apart in the third staked the Mustangs to a 4-0 lead.
The Mustangs wouldn’t be able to secure a rare box lacrosse shutout, though, as Blake Simpson scored for Swift Current with 2:44 remaining.

The Mustangs wasted little time getting things in hand in the gold medal game, roaring out to a 4-0 first-period lead and extending their edge to 7-2 before cruising home and claiming the banner.

Fulton, Livingston, Brett Bowerin and Caiden Arnott all scored to stake Moose Jaw to their lead, and after Cohen Moreside got one back for Swift Current late in the second, Ryder Seiferling and Michael Beitel scored two minutes apart for a 6-1 edge.

Swift Current’s Jasper Baan and Moose Jaw’s Jaxyn Houle exchanged goals in the final two minutes of the period, and the Mustangs had their five-goal lead coming home.

Seiferling and Baan scored for their respective teams in the final frame, and Moose Jaw had their league title.

The Mustangs are back on the floor this weekend and will seek an even bigger prize during the Sask Lacrosse provincial championship. Keep an eye on for schedules, scores and updates.
