Prince George scored the tying goal with 1:12 left in regulation and the winning tally with three minutes remaining in the second period of extra frame.

Colton Wasylenko scored three times to lead the Kodiaks’ offence that received single markers from Peyton Avigdor, Zeb Pink and Taryn Munson.

Overall, the Kodiaks finished with a 2-2 record. They opened with a 14-2 victory over Kamloops, and after dropping an 8-7 decision to Langley, bounced back for a 15-1 win over Ridge Meadows to earn a berth in the final on the strength of their goals-for-and-against record.

The Kodiaks opened the 14-team Kelowna Minor Lacrosse Association tournament against Kamloops, breaking open a 2-1 first-period lead by outscoring the Rattlers 7-1 in the middle frame.
