The first overtime solved nothing as the score remained 1-1 but with 4:23 to play in the second overtime period, Dumanski played hero for the Northern Bears by scoring her second of the night to lift P.A. over Notre Dame in extras, 2-1.

Annika Neufeldt collected the win in goal for the Bears, making 38 saves in her final AAA regular season game.

COMPLETE BOX SCORE (Saturday)

The following day on Sunday was just as close of a game, going down to the wire.

Dumanski got the party started for P.A., scoring her third of the weekend on the powerplay midway through the first.

Five minutes later, Nola Exner managed to find a way past Nikita Krayetski to tie it heading into the second.

There, Jade Olszewski put the Wings in front with a powerplay marker, which was quickly followed by a Peyton Halayka penalty shot goal just over a minute later as Weyburn went up 3-1.

Now in the third, the Bears began to show some signs of life.

Dumanski notched her second straight two goal game at the 8:23 mark to pull Prince Albert back to within one.

However, Exner also managed her second of the game in the final minute of the game, putting the Gold Wings back on top with 43 seconds remaining. The Bears weren’t done yet though, as Dumanski completed the hat-trick with 14 seconds left but by that point, it was too little too late as P.A. dropped their final regular season game, 4-3.

Sunday also marked the last AAA regular season game for Krayetski, who made 33 saves in goal in her final start.

COMPLETE BOX SCORE (Sunday)

With playoffs next on the schedule, the Northern Bears end the regular season with a 10-15-2-3 record (W-L-OTW-OTL), good enough for fifth place where they will now face the Swift Current Wildcats in the opening round of the playoffs.

A schedule for the playoff series has yet to be announced.
