A matchup of two of the top teams in the PIHL Class A Blue Division ended in lopsided fashion, as Fox Chapel Area dominated Kiski Area en route to a 10-2 victory at the Alpha Ice Complex in Harmarville on Monday.

The Foxes led 5-0 after the first period, and carried a 7-0 advantage into the second period intermission, enacting the running clock on two occasions.

Mason Heininger, who leads the Foxes in scoring for the season, posted a hat trick, while Liam Wiseman added two goals. That duo accounted for four of the goals in the opening frame, while Alex Macek also lit the lamp for the hosts.

Heininger registered his third goal of the night early in the second, and Danny Downey extended the Foxes lead to 7-0 later in the stanza.
