Heights frittered away a third period lead in a disappointing 5-4 loss to Hudson. Two strong periods put the Tigers in front 3-1, but a four-minute lapse in the third undid all their hard work. The Explorers scored four nearly identical goals as Heights lost the battles in the corners and didn't pick up in front of the net. Hudson kept winning the puck behind the goal line, then throwing it to the slot where an unguarded forward could score an easy goal. Trailing 5-3, Dan Bray's first career goal moved the Tigers back within one, but they went to a sixth attacker and still couldn't force the tie. Heights' first three goals came as the product of solid play in the offensive zone. Paris Murray scored on a rebound in the first period. Alex Kraus converted Rollin Hannah's centering pass in the second, then Ethan Farris scored on a powerplay, redirecting Jason Kelce's shot from the point.
