MOOSE JAW -- The Moose Jaw Mustangs have found themselves on a roll all season long in the South Sask Lacrosse League U17 division, and now they’re a single win away from a perfect regular season.
The Mustangs had little difficulty finding the win column in their most recent outing, putting together a steady offensive effort on their way to a 12-1 victory over the Regina Chaos Green on Tuesday night in Regina.
Moose Jaw’s penalty kill came through in the first period, with Braden Thompson and Kashton Smith each scoring shorthanded goals as the Mustangs took a 4-1 lead out of the opening 20 minutes.
It was a clean sheet from there for goaltender Joey Juchacz, as the Mustangs defence was just as effective as their offence, which put up three goals in the second period and another five in the third.
Smith and Jake Arnold each finished with two goals and three points, while Luke Pratte also had a pair of goals. Thompson, Chase Folk and Luke Turner all had a goal and assist each, with Hayden Tuer-Nidesh, Bentley Messner and Chris Gagne all adding single markers. Kysen MacAngus added three assists.
Easton Singer-Scherle had Regina’s lone goal in the first period.
The Mustangs -- who have outscored their opposition 90-22 on their way to their perfect record -- close out the SSLL regular season on Monday, June 16 when they face the Chaos Blue (2-5-1) in Regina.
The South Sask Lacrosse League playoffs will take place during the June 21 weekend.
