Another strong third period has given the 91Ô­´´ Thunder a 2-0 series lead in the Western Lacrosse Association Finals.

Tied at five with 20 minutes to play, the Thunder struck for a pair of early goals in the third period and then traded goals the rest of the way, defeating the Nanaimo Timbermen 10-8 on Sunday night, (Aug. 21) at Nanaimo’s Frank Crane Arena in game two of the best-of-seven championship series.

91Ô­´´ won the opener on August 19, scoring the game’s final eight goals in a 12-4 victory and it was a player who missed that game who led the way on Sunday as Dane Dobbie delivered four goals and seven points.

Dobbie scored the first and fourth goals of the opening frame with Thomas Vaesen and Erik Maas adding goals in between as the Thunder jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Timbermen finally got on the board with 87 seconds to play in the first. But while 91Ô­´´ led 4-1 after a period, the middle stanza was the complete opposite as this time it was the Timbermen scoring four times to 91Ô­´´â€™s one goal — which came off the stick of Dobbie — as the two teams went to the second intermission tied at five.

Curtis Dickon gave 91Ô­´´ the lead for good 23 seconds into the final period and then with the Thunder short-handed, it was Dobbie scoring his fourth of the night.

Chase Scanlan and Keegan Bell added the other 91Ô­´´ goals.

For the second straight game, goaltender Frank Scigliano stood tall in the 91Ô­´´ net, earning second star honours following a 46-save performance as his team was outshot 54-37.

Dobbie and Scigliano were named first and second stars of the game.
