With a slow week in the SMAAAHL schedule the Harvest saw just one game in their schedule as they continued their three week road trip with a stop in Tisdale to play the fifth place Trojans in their second to last game before home action. Tisdale handed the Harvest their ninth loss of the season in a 5-2 win that was never in doubt for the hometown Trojans who opened the game with three unanswered goals to head into the third period with a 3-0 lead.
Logan Herchak made things interesting for the Harvest with a quick goal at 1:44 of the third period to make things close, but Dalton Menke put the nail in the Harvest's coffin with a goal just into the final ten minutes of the game to give the Trojans a 4-1 lead.
Lynndon Pastachak added another powerplay goal for the Harvest shortly after, but the lead was just too much in what was yet another frustrating loss for the club. Carson Bogdan got the start in goal and made 34 saves in the loss. Bogdan has yet to win a game in net so far with an 0-5 record in the first two months of the season. Spencer Bombior has fared much better in the goaltending tandem after 14 games, posting a 3-5 record and a full one goal better average with a 3.68 GAA compared to Bogdan's 4.95.
The Harvest will now head to Notre Dame to play the fellow basement dwelling Hounds before returning to the FAA for a weekend homestand with Beardy's Blackhawks followed by a Wednesday night clash with the Notre Dame Argos as the Terriers will be looking to mount a winning streak on their trip home with many of the SMAAAHL pulling away in the standings. Sitting six games below .500 the Harvest are still looking for answers, how soon they find them, if they can at all, will determine if this season will continue to be a failure or if it will turn into just a long road to success for a young and struggling team trying to find their way early on in the season.
