Hilton allowed five unanswered goals in the first and second period including two on the power play due to a major penalty as they fell to Fairport 6-2 in the first round of the Class A Section V playoffs.
Junior goaltender Mason Burdick made a great save on a Raider breakaway seven minutes into the contest, but Fairport took a 1-0 lead with a power play tally at 12:35 of the first period.
But Hilton rebounded to tie the game 1-1 just 29 seconds later as junior Sam DiPasquale scored with an assist from senior Sam Sedia.
That was short-lived, however, as Fairport retook the lead less than one minute later on an inside-outside move around a defenseman by Nick Giambrone.
Fairport made it 3-1 just 1:13 into the second period with another forward skating around the defense just moments after a Hilton power play ended.
Then the penalty problems began for the Cadets as a 1:07 five-on-three for the Raiders was killed off largely by the penalty killing of Jake Lantz, Sedia and Dom Dentino.
Minutes later the Cadets were called on to kill of a major penalty and it finally caught up to them as the Raiders scored twice within the four minutes and added another goal in the final minute of the second to give them a 6-1 lead.
In the final minute of the third, Sedia scored from below the faceoff circle on a tough angle shot for the final goal of his high school career and the Cadets season. The team finished their campaign with a 7-12-2 record.
