Hart's bid for a West Michigan Conference title was stifled by the league's top team, Ludington, Monday night in a 3-0 defeat.
Hart
(11-4-1, 6-2 WMC) would have moved into position to split the WMC title
with a win. However, the Orioles have not lost a WMC game since 2024
and have not allowed a goal in conference play this year. The Pirates'
effort in fact marked the closest conference game of the year for
Ludington so far.
Hestyn Stowe scored two goals for the host Orioles and assisted the team's other goal, to Grace Forfinski.
Pirates' statistics were not reported from the game.
