Houston and North Pole are Mid-Alaska Conference rivals, but this was classified as a nonconference game.
The Hawks and Patriots are still in a battle for the MAC’s fourth region tournament berth. That could be decided when the Hawks return to North Pole during the final weekend of the regular season for a conference match.
Houston started its road trip with a 7-3 win over Delta in Delta Junction on Thursday.
