Chase Cosgrove had 27 saves for the hosts.
The game helped tighten up the scoring race. Elora’s Harrison (41 goals-47 assists) and Jared Downey (25-63) of the Nepean Knights are tied for the lead at 88 points while Dalpe (49-38) of Windsor is third at 87 and Dramnitzke (32-53) of the Mohawks is fourth at 85.
In their last two games, Harrison has been held to a total of two goals while Downey has three goals and three assists, Dalpe has five goals and five assists and Dramnitzke has one goal and six assists.
The Mohawks (15-2-0) lead the Western Conference while the Clippers, St. Catharines Athletics and Hamilton Bengals are tied for second at 14-4-0. Those four will finish in the top four and have home-court advantage in their first-round playoff series.
Guelph Regals (11-7-0) are fifth and are followed by the Six Nations Rebels (9-7-1), Owen Sound North Stars (6-10-1), Wallaceburg Red Devils (6-11-0), Point Edward Pacers (4-14-0), Welland Generals (2-15-0) and London Blue Devils (0-17-0).
