Discipline continued to haunt both clubs all night, with only Oswego being guilty of receiving cards. Felix Freed, Cole Mueller, Morgan Burke, and Kieran Husselbeck were each given yellow cards throughout the match.
These yellow cards for the Lakers matched their season high from last season, where they were given four of them in their first game of the SUNYAC tournament against Cortland, where their season came to an end.
The Lakers will continue to seek their first victory of their 2025 season Tuesday night at Laker Turf where they’ll host Hamilton, while Clarkson will do the same when they face St. John Fisher Sunday afternoon.
