Jim Leworthy's Mavericks head into opening round action on a six-game winning streak - which was highlighted with an 11-10 overtime victory against top-seated Owen Sound Saturday. This marked the only home loss of the year for the Flying Dutchmen, who needed a win over Spartan Sunday to finish ahead of Milton in the West Division. The Mavericks' skipper wasn't the least bit disappointed to place second, particularly after proving Owen Sound is not insur- mountable in their own barn. "They can be beaten at home and they know it," declared Leworthy, whose team closed out the regular season with a 19-5 record and start a best-of-seven series with Six Nations Friday at Tonelli Arena. Cory Leigh notched Saturday's game-winner with just a minute remaining in the extra session. Setting him up were captain Andrew Hartholt and Jimmy Leworthy Jr., who pasted an advancing Dutchmen striker into the boards and forced a turnover to initiate the play. Milton and Owen Sound traded leads three times in regulation with a standout performance by goalie Kevin Eansor keeping things close. Leigh tallied four times while Hartholt turned in a hat-trick. Said Leworthy, "Discipline and hard work got us the win Saturday and are what we'll need to succeed in the playoffs. "The main thing right now is that the guys are believing in themselves and playing as a team. Andrew (Hartholt) is no longer the whole team, but I've got no problem with our opponents thinking that." Friday night the Mavericks finished a three-game season sweep over their north Halton neighbours, Georgetown Bulldogs. Sharp netminding by Andrew Dowdell plus three-goal outputs by Hartholt and Leigh paced them to a 9-4 victory. Milton nearly established a new team record for fewest goals against in a game but the 'Dogs played spoilers with back-to- back goals in the last 90 seconds of play. A perfect 5-for-5 Maverick powerplay proved to be the differ- ence. Maverick notes: Andrew Hartholt finished the season with 70 goals while Cory Leigh had 51 ... Milton will be a near full strength for the playoffs, with only rookie Jason Watt currently nursing an ankle injury ...
