Heritage, which trailed 8 to 4 earlier in the game, had battled back to tie the game at 8 goals each mid-way through the fourth quarter. Jared Zahn led Midland in scoring with 2 goals and 3 assists. Ethan Ohlrich had 3 goals, and Elliot Moore had 2 goals and 1 assist. Garrett Brillhart had 2 assists, Ben Brueck scored 2 goals, and Creighton Annelin had an assist.

Midland's head coach Kurt Brillhart commented: "Heritage has a talented group of players who really gave us a battle. We gave up a large number of goals in penalty situations or in transition, and that hurt us. We need to clean up some of those mistakes, but I was proud of the boys for persevering and getting the win."

Midland's next game is against Haslett on the campus of Alma College on Friday evening.
