On Tuesday night, the Oilers traveled to Big Rapids to take on the Cardinals at Ferris State University. In a possible preview of the Pre-Regional playoffs, Mt. Pleasant played a very spirited game against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs a year ago.
Robert Backus got the scoring started in the 1st period, with assists to Evan Huber and Senior Derek D'Artgnan. Unfortunately the lead would last less than a minute as the Cardinals quickly answered to tie the game at 1 and send the game in to the locker room even.
The second period had plenty of action as the teams combined for five goals along with several scoring chances and physical play.
The Oilers tallied three goals scored by Evan Huber and two more by Backus giving him hat tricks in back to back games. Assists on the three goals went to Danny Pulver and Tyler Jackson.
The third period started with Mt. Pleasant holding on to a 4-3 lead, but two very controversial goals in the period for Big Rapids allowed the home team to sneak out with a victory.
Adam Salisbury made 44 saves in the loss.
