Heights struggled at both ends of the ice in a 5-1 road loss against Padua. The first period was the worst period for the Tigers. Only some great saves by Ben Gaglioti prevented Padua from scoring more than two goals. Heights played somewhat better after the first but were never able to narrow the gap. Although unable to get a consistent offensive attack going against Padua's defense, the Tigers did turn a number of Padua turnovers into odd-man rushes. Unfortunately, only one of these chances netted a goal. Jeff Houser scored unassisted on a 2-on-1 late in the third period. Gaglioti's 37 saves while under constant fire kept the score closer than it should've been.
