The Tigers have been on a hot streak lately winning their last five games. They beat Eureka in the first matchup 6-1 on Feb. 3.  Then they beat Eureka 7-1 on Monday in the Challenge Cup playoffs.

“We started off slow in the second game and they scored first,” said Ryan Basgall (12), “but during intermission coach got us fired up and (we) put seven in the net.”

The Tigers dominated allowing only 7 shots after the second period. Andrew Kovacich (11) scored twice and the leading scorer, Tommy Heinzman (12), buried one in the back of the net. Goalie Zach Jost (11) stopped 16 of 17 shots to get the win. They will advance to the second round of the Challenge Cup playoffs to play Lindbergh.
