Oxford [6] @ 2 Houston
Things didn't go well for Houston.
There was a lot of laughter during this game but closer to the end the laughs on the Houston side might have sounded more like the defeat sound uttered by Sideshow Bob.
Houston 2 @ [5] Oxford
Things improved for Houston. Briefly.
The laughter was a bit more manic in this game as Charles was getting tired, but a visit by the Red Bull girls cheered him up once he got past the suspicion of underaged girls handing out energy drinks to middle-aged nerds.
Things didn't go well for Houston.

Houston 2 @ [5] Oxford
Things improved for Houston. Briefly.
- Houston came back from an early 2-0 defecit to tie the game at the 24 minute mark of the 2nd.
- There was passive-aggressive equilibrium until Oxford scored 3 goals in 1:12 early in the 3rd.
- Auston Watson was a minor force, leveling Jared Tinordi and failing to get a penalty for what was, by all descriptions, buggery.
- Oxford took 53 shots, 9 hard vs Soros; Houston took 35 shots, 3 hard vs Jarry.
- With those shot totals, Jarry didn't need to be good. He wasn't.
- Oxford's season is done: 15-5-1-1 with 96 goas for and 64 against.
