Turkiewicz opened the contest with a goal less than two minutes into play. Warriors' goaltender Keaton Hartigan (Kitchener/) (Kitchener, Ont.) was searching for an open teammate when Turkiewicz challenged him and stripped him of the puck, counting his fourth goal of the season.
Lamb notched the Mustangs third goal, his fourth of the season, on the powerplay with three seconds left in the frame.
The Mustangs showed no sign of slowing down as the purple squad took it to the Warriors the remainder of the game firing pucks from all angles at Warrior goalie Keaton Haritgan.
Hartigan let in 8 goals on 36 shots in the loss. Mustang netminder Anthony Grieco stopped 31 of 32 shots to pick up his fourth win of the season.
The Warriors (3-4) will hope to redeem themselves from this disappointing loss as they travel to Windsor to face the Lancers in an afternoon matchup on Saturday.
