The Bob Dick Plant Farm sponsored Midget AE’s bounced back from two season ending losses to defeat LaSalle in the semi-final game of Bluewater League playoffs.
League leader LaSalle was the top seed going into the playoffs and had Southpoint’s number all year.
The Caps followed the game plan and jumped out to an early lead. The teams traded goals in the final 30 seconds and the first period ended with Caps ahead 2-1. Southpoint scored the only goal of the second and headed to the third up by a 3-1 score.
LaSalle came out flying in the third and with five minutes left to play, the game was tied at 3-3 and headed for overtime. With 2 minutes left in overtime Brian Travis capped off a fantastic game, scoring the winner with his third goal of the game.
The win propelled the Caps to the Bluewater Day of Champs against Windsor.
Taylor Omstead also scored for Southpoint. Deryck Badz (2), Jared Mastronardi (2), Jake Koning, Matt Livingstone, Davey Watson, and Jonathan Augustine added assists. Tyler Jackson was spectacular in net for the Caps and made several great glove saves to pick up a well deserved team win.
The season came to a close with the Caps facing off in a home and home series with Windsor.
In game one Windsor claimed a 2-1 victory in what became a penalty-filled contest. Branden McKeen’s unassisted goal was Southpoint’s only goal. Matt Chamberlain started in net and Tyler Jackson finished the game.
In the second game it was all Windsor as the Caps could not put the puck in the net and lost 5-0. Tyler Jackson was in net for the Caps.
