In the second frame the Storm was able to put in an early marker, but Connor Buick (Reed) was able to bring Sicamous’ lead up to 6-1 before the period’s end.
Devries scored his second and third goals early in the final frame. The Storm was then able to bring the action back to Sicamous’ end, but was only able to secure two more goals before the clock ran out.
