Solid week for Midget Mustangs:

The Moose Jaw Mustangs couldn’t have asked for a better pair of games in the South Saskatchewan Lacrosse League Midget division last week.

The Mustangs took a 21-2 victory over the Weyburn Thrashers on May 18 before rolling to an 11-4 victory over the Regina Snipers on May 21.

They continued their winning streak with a 7-3 win over the Regina Snipers on May 30. Scoring information was unavailable for that contest.

The Mustangs improved to 5-2 with the three victories and sit in third place in the six-team league.

Next action is June 4 when they host the second-place Regina Rush (7 p.m., Kinsmen). The Mustangs got off to a fast start, building a 5-0 lead in the first period and never looking back, extending their lead to 12-2 by the end of the second before pouring in five more goals in the third.

Atley Calvert led the assault with five goals, while Kael Nichols scored four times and added three helpers to go along with three goals and four assists from Kirk Mullen. Kayde Shymko, Blake Butler and Rowan Calvert had two goals each; Caelan Fitzpatrick scored once with three assists, Max Coulson and Ethan Johnson had their other markers. Things were far closer in the early going of their most recent contest, as Mullen, Shymko and Chris Otterson scored first period goals to take a 3-2 lead out of the opening frame.

The Mustangs were able to pull away a bit in the second, though, building a 7-4 edge before four unanswered goals in the final frame gave them their comfortable win. Nichols finished the game with four goals and two assists while Calvert scored three times with three helpers. Johnson had their other goal.
