The Wellington Dukes held period leads of 1 to 0 and 2 to 1 but couldn't hold on as the host Huntsville Otters came back to win 3 to 2 in double overtime.

Joe Zarbo and Brian Bunnett were the Duke goal scorers while Elliott Richardson assisted on both along with Sean Rudy.  Jordan Ruby faced 33 shots in net.

The Dukes will now play in the semi-final on Friday against the NOJHL champions, the Soo Eagles, with a 7:30 PM puck drop.
