The Swift Current Home Hardware U18 AAA Legionnaires continued their recently slide this afternoon at home against their rival Moose Jaw Warriors.

Moose Jaw scored five unanswered goals to open the game before Swift Current found the scoresheet in a 6-3 contest.

Swift Current had five minor penalties in the first and both Warriors goals in the frame came via the extra man.

Moose Jaw then buried a trio 5-on-5 goals in the second to stretch their lead to 5-0 before Legionnaires forward Matt Ripplinger put the homeside on the board.

Swift Current's Noah Mitchell and Rowan Martin-Bryk scored in the early part of the third to make things interesting at 5-3 but the Warriors scored a late one to seal the win.

With the loss, the Legionnaires are 8-6-1 on the season and will head to Yorkton this weekend for a pair of games against the 2-13-2 Maulers.
