All the Battlefords Sharks needed was some home cooking to get back to their scoring ways.

Shelby Tornato also had yet another incredible game, stopping 49 of 53 shots.

Despite their best efforts, the Sharks fell in overtime, 4-3 in a hard-fought contest in Battleford Wednesday night.

The Prince Albert A&W Bears would get on the board first, courtesy of Ireland South, who is top 10 in the league in scoring. Kayla McNab and Brooklyn Hopkins had the helpers.

Tornato faced 19 stops in the first period.

Ireland South would make it 2-0 six minutes into the second frame before the Sharks started to battle back.

Alyssa Roach scored at the 13-minute mark. Jordan Kulbida and Cassidy Carlson collaborated on the goal.

Just three minutes later Keara Amson notched her second of the season, tying the game at 2-2. Landry Derdall registered the assist.

Sierra Parenteau of the Bears scored her fourth of the campaign to give Prince Albert back the lead headed into the final frame.

With 10 minutes left, leading scorer Jordan Kulbida played the role of the hero with her fourth goal of the year, sending the game into overtime. Passes from Landry Derdall and Teagan Sochaski led to the goal.

Tornato stopped 23 of 23 shots in the third.

Sierra Parenteau scored in OT for the Bears to finish off the close game.

The Sharks penalty kill did a tremendous job, going a perfect 4-4.
