Wildcats captain Ava Metzger scored twice for Saskatchewan in a 4-3 overtime loss to British Columbia on Wednesday afternoon. Swift Current’s Aurora Van Wormer made 33 saves in a losing cause. 

Defenseman Caitlyn Perlinger and forward Kiana McNinch are also representing Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan had opened the four-team event with a 7-1 loss to Alberta on Tuesday.

Saskatchewan will look to get into the win column on Thursday evening against the host team from Manitoba.
