They have been close and the Green Gaels are a contender for the Founders Cup.
But they are not there and they have got quite the chore against the champion, when the Green Gaels are currently likely to punch their ticket in Saskatoon. But last night's 11-10 overtime win over Orangeville is 1 step closer. It provides the Green Gaels what is making this series extreme is the trend that is popped up in all 3 matches and a 2-1 lead in the series: they have all been decided by 1 goal and in overtime.
Tied the Green Gaels struck before Kyle Waters with Tyler Sonnichsen's goal at the first minute of overtime. Hornheads equalized, this time through a Nik Farrus attacker goal although Bryce Tolmie gave the Gaels a to go in the extra period.
The teams had to go before Zach Bryant ended things with a transition mark on which he protected the ball as he drove to the net racing back and slipped the ball home.
The Green Gaels have a opportunity to wrap up the series when they return to Orangeville for Game 4. The teams will meet one time for all the marbles on Thursday back, if they can not seal the deal there.
