Heights won their third straight game, edging Hudson 4-3. The Tigers didn't have a great game in the defensive zone, but they did just enough on offense. Heights sped to a 2-0 lead before the Explorers could get a shot on goal. Jason Kelce struck first, extending his scoring streak to six games. Brandon Saylor followed with a wrist shot through the five-hole for his first goal of the year. Halfway through the period, Hudson bounced back and got on the attack, rallying to tie the score at 2. After a quiet second period for both teams, Heights recaptured the lead in the third. Rollin Hannah's sixth goal broke the tie. Then Ethan Farris intercepted a Hudson breakout pass and set up Jason Kelce's second goal of the night. That would prove decisive as Hudson answered quickly to move back within one. Heights managed to hold on for the final seven minutes, despite some sloppy play in their own end. John Mates stopped 18 shots to bump his record to 3-1 and help the Tigers move into a first place tie in the Red Southeast.
