A pair of first period power play goals by the Battlefords Sharks were enough to hold off the Swift Current Innovation Credit Union U18 Female AAA Wildcats this afternoon.

A day after Swift Current took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series, Battlefords 2-1 win at home has now evened things up.

Sharks forward Lacey Schneider scored both goals on the man advantage for Battlefords.

Laiken Swan put Swift Current on the board with 85 seconds left in the game but the Wildcats couldn’t find an equalizer.

Netminder Karlee Lehner made 23 saves in the loss.

The two teams will meet back in Swift Current Wednesday for game three at the Fairview West Arena.
