			points for Hartem. 
 Following the game, Hartem Head Coach Jason Garber said, "It is 
			never easy to win on the road no matter which league you play in. I 
			thought our guys showed a lot of composure and grit in a close game 
			down the stretch. We have had two close games already this season 
			and I think the experience in those two games helped us in the final 
			two minutes of this game. We will have another tough game on the 
			road Saturday as we travel to Warrensburg-Latham.”
