The Tigers took a 2-1 lead into the third period but, for the second game in a row, they surrendered two late goals and lost 3-2. A close defensive game throughout, neither Heights nor Shaker had an overwhelming number of scoring chances. Pat Collins broke the scoreless tie in the second period when he redirected a Mike Ruflin shot past Shaker's netminder. Shaker came right back to tie the game at one, but the Tigers picked up a shorthanded goal to retake the lead. Dan Cross-Call and Andrew West started a 2-on-1 during a Shaker powerplay but couldn't connect on a crossing pass. It was defenseman Kyle Barden who followed the play, gathered the loose puck, and slipped in the go-ahead goal. The 2-1 score held until twelve minutes into the third period. Heights was caught in a line change and Shaker scored the tying goal on a shot from just inside the blue line. Not thirty seconds later, Shaker scored again when the Tigers failed to clear a loose puck in front of the net. Just like the prior game against Findlay, a potential Heights win turned into a bitter defeat in the final minutes.
