The Westmoreland Bruins had a good thing going in the first 40 minutes of their home game against Weyburn Sunday afternoon but a collapse led to eight goals against in the third period at Affinity Place.

The Bruins lost 10-2 in South Saskatchewan Peewee AA Hockey League action to Weyburn, a day after a 5-3 loss to the same Weyburn team.

Jordan Marcotte and Ty Hoste scored for the Bruins in the second period Sunday and the game seemed within their grasp as the third started. But within three minutes, Weyburn had grabbed a 5-2 lead and the goals flew in from there.

Not even a timeout by the coaching staff or and a goaltending change from Tallan Howie to Chloe Sorenson could stop the flow of goals in the period.

The previous game, Hoste, Kersey Hollingshead and Marcotte each scored for the Bruins, who got 60 minutes out of Sorenson in the net.

The Bruins go on the road this weekend, battling Swift Current Saturday and Melville Sunday.
