Vernon’s second came late in the middle stanza as Quinn Soon neutralized a Salmon Arm rush and sent Grevatt on the counterattack. Fleet winger Connor Cecchini took Grevatt’s lead pass, and with a grey shirt draped all over him, drilled a low bullet home.
Next, Soon hit Dylan Wapple on the fly, and he blew by the Salmon Arm defence on his off wing and slipped one through the goalie. In the third, Wapple picked up the puck in neutral ice, got on his horse again, and from the top of the circle, let fly a blistering bolt high into the net.
