A third period comeback has put the 91Ô­´´ Thunder one victory away from a spot in the Western Lacrosse Association Finals.

Trailing for much of the first 40 minutes on Thursday night, Aug. 3 at Frank Crane Arena to the host Nanaimo Timbermen — the Timbermen led for all but 7:19 of the first two periods — 91Ô­´´ scored eight unanswered third period goals for the 17-10 come-from-behind victory in game two of the teams’ semi-final series.

The Thunder now lead the best-of-five series 2-0 with a chance to close things out on Tuesday, Aug. 8 at 91Ô­´´ Events Centre.

Game time is 6:30 p.m.

In game one, captain Connor Robinson paced the offence with six goals and he was right back at it on Thursday, scoring five more times and finishing with seven points. But while Robinson had a sock trick in the opener, Robert Church duplicated that feat in game two, scoring six times to go along with six assists to finish with a dozen points.

Church has now scored 13 goals over his last three WLA games.

Curtis Dickson also had a seven-point game for 91Ô­´´ with a pair of goals and five helpers.

The rest of the offence saw Dane Dobbie (1-3), Nathaniel Kozevnikov (1-2), Reece Callies (1-1) and Chase Scanlan (1-0) also find the back of the net.

Frank Scigliano made 38 saves in the Thunder goal, including stopping all 15 Timbermen shots in the third period.

The Timbermen were led by three goals from Ryan Sheridan with Zach Manns (2-1), Brett McIntyre (1-3), Colton Lidstone (1-1), Taggert Clark (1-1), Ethan Ticehurst (1-1) and Nate Wade (1-0) providing the rest of the offence. Justin Geddie finished with 34 saves in the Nanaimo net.

Special teams did not play much of a factor in the outcome as 91Ô­´´ was 1-2 on the power-play while the Timbermen were 0-for-1 but did score a short-handed goal.
