Vernon, BC: It wasn’t the result the Vipers were looking for on Monday afternoon as they dropped a 5-1 decision against the West Kelowna Warriors.
The Vipers had some jump early on but failed to capitalize on those chances. From there the game went the way of the Warriors as Cam Hicklin scored in the final minute of the period to make it 1-0 after 1.
Carter Wilkie scored 2 goals just under 2 minutes apart to increase the lead to 3-0. Hicklin would get his second of the afternoon late in the period.
In the third Zach Brooks would tack on another. Luke Pakulak broke Johnny Derrick’s shutout bid late in the game for his first BCHL goal. 5-1 was the final after the buzzer.
The Vipers are back in action Wednesday afternoon when they take on the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
