The Dauphin Clippers knew the Neepawa Tigers wouldn't roll over and watch their season end without a fight.
Dauphin stuck with the process, expected a good fight back, and conquered it. As a result, the Dauphin Clippers hockey team advanced to the Final Four in the Westman High School Hockey League.
Less than 24 hours after a 7-1 thumping at Credit Union Place, Dauphin ended the Tigers season on Wednesday with a thrilling 3-2 win at the Yellowhead Centre.
Noah Hanneson, Jorden Braun, and Ronin Mouck scored for Dauphin. Mouck's and Braun's goals both came in the third period.
Dauphin will now wait for the winner in the series between Minnedosa and Swan River. Game three of that series is set for Saturday in Swan River. Vincent Massey and Virden are playing on the top portion of the bracket and the winner of that series will play the winner of Hamiota vs Killarney.
