HOW IT HAPPENED

• Shortly after the goal Oswego went on the power play and that paid off 43 seconds later when DiCarlo roofed a shot from the left circle. Michael Gillespie and Max Novick assisted the score.
• With the Roos on the power play Michael Cerasuolo came out of goal and attempted to play the puck but slipped and Spink buried a shot into the open net for the short-handed tally at 8:13.
• The Lakers added a fourth goal at the 18:33 mark when Carson Vance went top shelf blasting a shot from the right point. Travis Broughman assisted the tally. Oswego led 4-0 after one.
• Oswego State add three second period goals from Gillespie, Josh Zizek and Broughman with the latter two coming on the power play to take a commanding 7-0 lead after two.
• The Roos got two back early in the third period. Brendan McCormack lit the lamp off passes from Adam Petric and Bailey Conlkin at 4:06.
• Just under four minutes later Tyson Bruce scored with the skater advantage on a nifty move in the low slot. Matthew Headland and Kyler Matthews picked up assists on the play.
• Oswego added a late goal from Tyler Antonucci for the 8-2 final.
• Michael Cerasuolo made 25 saves in the start, while Austin Washkurak turned aside eight shots in relief.
