Victoria, BC- The Victoria Royals tallied three consecutive markers to defeat the Vancouver Giants 3-2 on Sunday night and sweep the three-game weekend series.
Royals' forward Jared Dmytriw recorded his third goal in two nights mid-way through the second period to tie the game 1-1. Dante Hannoun supplied the Royals with their first lead of the night when he scored only 39 seconds later. Vladimir Bobylev registered the game-winner early in the third period when he beat Giants' netminder Ryan Kubic with a shot that trickled just past the goal-line.
Vancouver's tallies were scored by Johnny Wesley in the opening stanza, and Bartek Bison in the final frame.
