It would remain that way until the third period when TC West scored twice in 12 seconds to take a 3-1 lead.

The Hornets pulled the goaltender for the extra attacker in the final minute and Aidan Rumohr scored with 19 seconds left to make it 3-2, but Saline could not find the net again.

The Hornets then dropped a 5-2 decision to Traverse City Central Friday night.

West took the lead in the second, but Woodrel scored his second of the game with a nice centering pass from Iadipaolo with 27 seconds left in the period to tie the game at 2-2 heading to the third.

The third was all TC West scoring three times and pulling away for the win.

Saline fell to 6-9 overall on the season.
