Finals Game Three
The Stratford Cherrey Bus Lines Warriors have taken the lead over the London Jr. Mustangs in their eight point Minor Bantam Alliance Bristol A finals, with a 3-2 win Wednesday night at the Allman arena. The Warriors lead the series 4-2.
Luke Marcy opened Stratford scoring early in the first period, with a hard wrist shot that eluded Londons netminder. It was the first lead of the series for Stratford. Connor Otto's point shot found the back of the net early in the second to put Stratford ahead by two, with Carter Lewis assisting, to give Stratford the two goal advantage.
London closed the gap shortly after to 2-1, but Otto blasted another point shot that Joel DenOtter tipped to restore the two goal lead once again at 3-1.
Penalty problems plagued Stratford late in the second, where London scored with two Warriors in the box, making the score 3-2, but that was as close as the Mustangs could get. Quinton Duncan made some huge saves holding London at bay several times over the course of the game.
Game four is Saturday night in London with the two teams returning to Stratford on Sunday for a 5:30 tilt at the Allman.
