Then the lead grew to 4-0 as former Plattsburgh Cardinal Tiarra Garrow scored her second of the season with Collins and Sbrocchi getting the helpers. Oswego would then score one more time with the player advantage as Brenna Weber scored her first of the season with Gush and Bryanna Forrest getting the assists.
The host Spartans would finally figure out Laker netminder Emi Williams as Jade Werger scored her second on the year with the assist going to Amy Costa. Lackawanna native Sarah Hannon would find the net for the second time this season for the Lakers sixth goal of the game with Jenna Kirkwood and team Captain Angie Friesen getting the assists and that would be how the game would end with Oswego winning 6-1.
