Posted on:

The NA Inline 17-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday as the Tigers fell to the Seneca Valley Raiders in an OT thriller by a score of 4-3.

The first period saw the Tigers strike first with senior Kyle Tomino leading the way with two goals assisted by sophomore Steven Cameron and junior Jacob Rice respectively.

The Raiders were not to be outdone and responded with two goals of their own in the second period while holding the Tigers scoreless, tying the game at 2-2.

The Raiders took the lead for most of the third period but with a 5-on-3 advantage, the Tigers tied the game with under a minute to play on a power play goal by Cameron, assisted by Tomino. Overtime play saw the Raiders notching the winning goal and the Tigers, in a well fought battle, end the regular season with a 17-1 record.

Junior goalie Mitchell Ludwick takes the loss.  The Tigers will resume play in two weeks for the first round of the playoffs at the RMU Island Sports Center, opponent and time to be determined.
