The Penticton Vees took down their BC Division rival by a 2-1 score on Friday night in the home finale of the regular season. 

The Vees climb to 43-14-6-4 on the season.  

Penticton opened the scoring on Friday with Ryden Evers batting home a rebound off a Callum Stone shot for his 35th goal of the year. That was all the scoring in period number one. 

Vojtech Cihar countered on the powerplay for the Rockets 7:05 into the middle frame. 

Brittan Alstead found the back of the net shortly after off a great individual effort. That would end up being the game winner and his 21st of the year. 

The Vees used a strong penalty kill early in the third period and outstanding goaltending from AJ Reyelts to shut down the Rockets in the third leading to a 2-1 victory. 

Penticton is now 4-2-0-1 against Kelowna this season and have won their last three meetings in a row.
