It's been more of the same in the WCA - JM contest in the third period as the Eagles' defense has continued to stifle any hopes for a Jackets comeback leading 50-36 midway through the third.

Six straight from JM to open the fourth as they've cut the lead to 63-49 with six to play? Too little, too late or can they scrap their way back in?
