The Neepawa Farmers clinched their tenth straight victory on Saturday, Dec. 5, upending the Glenboro Nordics 4-3. Bret Levandoski scored a pair of goals for Neepawa on the way to the win, while Riley Kolesar and Clarke Rempel added singles for the Farmers. Devin Epp and Brett Dreger were each able to register a pair of assists apiece in the win.
