In the third period Mota scored another, his 24th tally of the season, on a penalty shot before a Bradley Smith empty net goal in the final minute capped off the win.
Guelph (12-27-1-6) currently sit seventh place in the Midwestern standings, now one point back of Brantford (13-26-2-4). Sixth place would likely mean a playoff matchup against third place Waterloo Siskins (54 points) while finishing seventh would currently equal a first round matchup against second place Stratford Warriors (70 points).
The Hurricanes next game is scheduled for Saturday against Midwestern leading Listowel Cyclones (38-5-0-1). Game time at Sleeman Centre is 7:30 PM.
