Midget Mustangs victorious as playoffs arrive

The Moose Jaw Mustang capped off their regular season in fine fashion this past weekend, and it couldn’t have come at a better time – especially with the South Saskatchewan Lacrosse League playoff tournament this coming weekend.

The Mustangs took a 15-5 win over Standing Buffalo in their last game of the campaign after defeating the Swift Current 7-4 earlier in the week
