Heights started divisional play on a winning note, with a 3-2 thriller over Solon. Team
Captain Jordan Shoger led the way with his second career
hat trick, but it took a serious team effort from all eleven Tigers to upend the Comets,
last season's undefeated Blue North champs. Heights scored first but Solon evened things
at one by the first intermission. Heights went back on top in the second when Shoger took
a pass from Trey Hopkins and scored on a breakaway.
Solon fought back to tie it in the third, setting up Shoger's final goal, which came with
seven seconds left on the clock. Chris Zirm finished
with a pair of assists, and Liam Robinson looked sharp
in goal, stopping 26 shots. |
