Perry now gets two much-needed, momentum-lifting wins as the regular season comes to a close in the coming week.
Final game
The Pumas have just one regular season game remaining before shifting focus to the Open Division playoffs.
They will travel to face the Chandler Wolves (7-14) on Wednesday, Feb 7 @ 7 p.m. Perry has an opportunity to end the season on a three-game winning streak with a victory here.
While their performence has not been nearly as dominant as last season, the reigning champs should once again be considered a top contender with a real chance to become back-to-back Open State Champions.
