The Kabos Bantam AA Broncos find themselves facing elimination after a 2-0 loss to the Regina Monarchs yesterday evening.

Game 1 of the South Division final proved to be a tough defensive test for both teams, as the first period was scoreless.

Regina's first goal came with 15:45 left in the second period - a 1-0 score that would carry through to the dying seconds of the game.

Despite 6-on-5 pressure from Swift Current, Regina potted the empty-netter with 12 seconds left.

The Bantam Broncos now look to a road game in Regina on Tuesday, needing a win to keep their playoffs alive.

Game 2 of the best-of-three league semi-finals is 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
