Port Huron, MI- Port Huron's Mike Moroso notched two goals, as he lead the Fighting Falcons to a 5-2 victory and a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five North Division Finals over the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings on Saturday in Port Huron.

Port Huron picked up exactly where they had left off after last nights victory, by scoring two goals in the opening frame to jump out to an early lead. 4:36 into the first, it was Alex Archibald (1st)breaking the scoreless tie with a shot from the point that snuck past Kalamazoo starter Ken MacLean and found the back of the goal.

With less than two minutes to go in the opener, the Fighting Falcons extended their lead to two with a shorthanded marker and the first of the playoffs by Brett D'Andrea. D'Andrea took a wrist shot from the right wing side that beat MacLean stick-side.

The Fighting Falcons continued their dominance in the second period with two more goals added to their total. It started at the 4:20 mark of the period on the first of the playoffs by Ryan Teal.

Following that up and extending their lead to four, was Moroso. His goal, which was his third of the playoffs, gave Port Huron an insurmountable lead midway through the second.

Port Huron silenced the Kalamazoo comeback attempt with Moroso's second of the game and fourth of the playoffs at 10:39 of the frame.

Kalamazoo scored once more, on a goal by Brett Beauvais. The goal was his second of the playoffs, and came on the power play. It wasn't enough, as the Jr. K-Wings still lost the contest by three goals.
