1/31/98 Cleveland Heights 5 - North Olmsted 4 (OT)
Heights staved off embarrassment and avenged a previous defeat to North Olmsted with a
thrilling comeback victory on "Parents/Senior Appreciation Night." After two periods, the
score stood at 2-2, with Eddie Babcox and
Jeff Hindulak recording the Tigers' goals. It
would be North Olmsted who broke the tie in the third period with two goals before Heights
rallied to get back in the game. With the Tigers down 4-2 and less than five minutes to
play, Babcox tallied his second goal of the game. In the final minute of the third period,
with Heights on a powerplay and their goalie pulled, an
Eric Aber shot from the point sneaked through a
screen and slipped past the North Olmsted goaltender to tie the game. That goal sent the
game into an overtime period which the Tigers would dominate. Four minutes into overtime,
Shannon Barden caught North Olmsted in a line
change and rushed the length of the ice to bury his fourth goal of the season, and
complete the comeback. All three of Heights' graduating seniors performed well in their
final career home game. Eddie Babcox scored two goals, both assisted by
Sean Collins, while
Andrew Markus stopped 21 shots in the win.
