The Ripley Wolves put up another good fight, but came out on the short end of a 5-2 score in Game 3 of their semifinal series against Elora.
The Rocks held a 2-0 lead in the second period when Nathan Gavey got Ripley on the board, from Devin Kemp and Curt Robinson. The only other Wolves goal was a short-handed, unassisted marker by Nick Locking, who has been superb in these playoffs.
After leaving last Saturday’s game with a lower body injury, Kurt Edwards returned to the Wolves net Friday night.
Saturday night is a big night at the Ripley arena, as the hometown Juveniles play the second game of their OMHA semifinals vs Lambton Shores at 6 p.m., followed by Game 4 of the Wolves/Elora series at 8. The Juvies lost Game 1 of their series by a similar 5-2 score, and look to get into the win column in front of what is sure to be a big crowd tonight.
