The Melfort Mustangs are heading to Yorkton for Game 3 of their second-round series against the Yorkton Terriers.

Melfort will be looking for the 3-0 stranglehold following two impressive wins at home over the weekend to begin the series.

The Mustangs hope to carry over some momentum from that, as well as their special sendoff from the city earlier this morning.
