Farmington Boys Hockey (3-13, 1-8 SSC) took the Hastings Raiders (10-5-1, 3-3) down to the wire eventually losing 3-2.

Hastings wasted no time building a lead over Farmington scoring two goals in the game's first period. Blake Vandehoef scored on the power play at 8:22 followed by an even strength goal from the Raiders' Sawyer Zaruba.

In the second period, Hastings tacked on a third goal when Charles Williams found the back of the net to earn a 3-0 lead for the Raiders headed into the second break.

An inspired Farmington team took the ice in the game's final frame. Evrett Bennett scored the Tigers' first goal at 4:29 assisted by Jacob Miller. Shortly after Bennett's goal, Kyler Schwamb scored his 5th goal of the season after returning from an injury. 

Hastings called a timeout after the Tigers' second goal in an effort to regain control of the game. 

With just over 2:00 remaining in the game, Farmington would pull goalie Mitch Getting and get the extra skater on the ice. 

Despite the Tigers' best effort, they could not score the game-tying goal.
