Warriors score early and often in seventh straight home win

The Warriors put up a seven spot on Sunday to win their seventh straight game at home.

Connor Sodergren led the way with five points as the Warriors knocked off the Cowichan Valley Capitals 7-3.

It was the Capitals who would open the scoring as well, with Rhett Kingston beating Cole Demers just over half way into the first to break the ice.


The lead didn’t last long, however, as Jared Marino would tie the game at one just two minutes later.

The Warriors got their first lead of the game before the opening frame was out when Sodergren knocked home a rebound for his 19th goal of the year.

The Capitals came out strong to start the second period and tied the game up at two on a goal from Max Newton.


That’s the way it’d stay for a large part of the middle frame before Chase Stevenson got the lead back for West Kelowna, scoring his fourth goal in the past five games.

The Warriors took over in the third, turning a 3-2 lead into a 7-2 lead in just 12 and a half minutes off goals from Nicholas Rutigliano, Quin Foreman, Michael Ryan and Jordan Todd.

The Capitals would score one more before time expired, but it wouldn’t make a difference in a 7-3 final.

Cole Demers picked up the victory for the Warriors, making just 19 saves as West Kelowna outshot Cowichan Valley 52-22 on the evening.

The Warriors’ next action is Friday night at home when they host the Vernon Vipers for the final time this regular season.
