Bob Shelp and Brad Haelzle rounded out the Waterloo scoring. ‘"We‘ve been looking forward to this series for some time now, so obviously we‘re very happy with the way things went tonight," said Farquhar, who has been nagged by a variety of injuries throughout the season but showed no signs of it Sunday, playing the point on the power play in addition to his regular shift. _ Stratford coach Ross Yantzi was making no excuses following the game, giving Waterloo full credit for the victory. _ ‘"We did pretty well against them all year but that doesn‘t mean squat right now. It‘s 1â€"0 for Waterloo," said Yantzi. *«*You could‘ve put a piece of plywood in front of the net tonight with a small hole in it and they (Waterloo) would have still found a way to score."
