On Saturday afternoon, the Surge hit the road to Hanover for a noon showdown against the Midwest 49ers.
The game started with a slow pace as both teams battled for puck control and exchanged early shots. The 49ers struck first after a scramble in front of the Surge net, taking a 1-0 lead. The Surge responded late in the first period when Colten found the back of the net, tying the game 1-1 heading into the break.
The second period brought a surge of energy—literally. Hudson buried a shot to give the team a 2-1 lead. Mason, holding strong in net, made a critical save on a breakaway to keep the advantage intact. During a penalty kill, Kaleb nearly extended the lead with a steal and a shot that sailed just high. Moments later, Shaye slipped one past the 49ers goalie, making it 3-1 at the end of two.
With a full 20-minute third period ahead, the Surge kept the pressure on. Curtis pushed the lead to 4-1 with a slick goal. A penalty sent Cayden to the box, and the 49ers capitalized to cut the deficit to 4-2. Levi answered quickly with a goal of his own, restoring the three-goal cushion at 5-2. Another penalty gave the 49ers life, narrowing the score to 5-3. But Kaleb sealed the deal, shovelling in the sixth goal for the Surge. Final score: Surge 6, Midwest 49ers 3.
