The Penticton Vees handled the Tri-City Americans 4-2 in regulation, built on a two-goal opening period that set the terms of the night. Penticton scored in all three periods and never trailed.
The Vees took a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes, and Tri-City's only push came in the middle frame, where the Americans won the period 2-1 to close within 3-2. The turning point was Penticton's lone third-period goal, which restored the two-goal cushion and left the Americans chasing with no answer.
The decisive number is the period-by-period split: 2-0, 1-2, 1-0 — Penticton found the net in each of the three, and Tri-City managed its two goals inside a single 20-minute stretch. Individual scoring details were not available from the game sheet.
