What went well for the Osoyoos Coyotes one night went wrong the following evening.
Osoyoos beat up on first place Summerland 5-1 Friday at Sun Bowl Arena, scoring all five goals on the power play in what was a dominating performance.
Flip ahead one night, and the Coyotes failed to score in five power play opportunities, falling 5-3 to the last place Posse in Princeton.
Posse players had their legs going early, scoring three times in the opening period, despite the fact they were outshot 12-6 by the Coyotes.
Osoyoos outshot Princeton 21-6 in the middle frame, getting goals from Carter Robinson and Tristyn Olson to pull with two goals at 4-2.
The teams traded thrid period goals, with Austin Cleaver scoring the Osoyoos goal.
The Coyotes outshot the Posse 50-21.
Coyotes goalies struggled in net, with Adam Jones stopping 13 of 15 shots, and Liam Aitken giving up three goals on six shots in 20 minutes of work.
The Posse won for just the fourth time in 15 games.
The Coyotes fell to 9-3 on the season, and into third place in the Okanagan Division, one point back of Kelowna with a game in hand, and two behind Division-leading Summerland with three games in hand.
