Heights played a close game for two and a half periods before eventually falling 5-1 to St. Edward. The Tigers were eliminated from the State Tournament after an exciting run that saw the team win back-to-back games in double and triple overtime. Heights was able to stay in this game by keeping St. Edward away from the slot, and allowing shots from the perimeter. As Ben Gaglioti would make the initial save, the defense would clamp down and prevent the Eagles from getting to the rebound. This strategy kept St. Edward in check for most of the game. Despite being heavily outshot, the Tigers led 1-0 at the first intermission. Jeff Houser tipped in a Chris Pesek slapshot to put Heights ahead with his team-leading 15th goal. St. Edward scored the only goal of the second period on a powerplay and the game was deadlocked at one entering period number three. In the third, the Eagles took an early 2-1 lead, then struck for three goals midway through to put the game out of reach. The Tigers' hopes of winning the game were dependent on two keys: good goaltending and capitalizing on their few scoring chances. Ben Gaglioti was once again brilliant in net with 52 saves, but the offense didn't come through. Heights missed a number of good scoring chances and finished 0-5 on the powerplay.
