Game two for Friday saw the Perth Auto Dismantlers Novice C Aces against their long time rivals the South Huron Sabres.

The game ended in a 2-1 loss for the Aces. The only goal scored by the Aces came in the third period with 6 attackers from Olivia Rau on a pass from Tessa Burdett and Julia McCann.
Congratulations to Marta Rintoul for earning the Game MVP and to McKenzie Parsons for earning the Coaches First Star Award.
