Both teams started the game off slow, pushing the ball into the offensive zone, not finding any success. Plattsburgh snuck in a goal with five and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter of play. The Lakers were not showing any signs of life until Hayden Coney netted a goal with just 18 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Just eight seconds later, Logan Prescott scored another goal for the Lakers and Oswego would lead by one going into the second quarter.
Max Brodman found his groove in the second quarter, scoring the next two goals for the Lakers, almost seven minutes apart. Plattsburgh responded with a goal of their own, and would trail Oswego by two. That was until Liam Sexton netted the fifth goal of the game for the Lakers with an assist from Brodman. The Cardinals added one more goal in the second, with Oswego adding two more in the final three minutes. The Lakers would lead Plattsburgh 7-3 going into halftime.
In the first five minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers would only add one goal, with Plattsburgh adding two goals. However, in the final six and a half minutes, Oswego added three goals to Plattsburgh’s one. Coney, Sexton, Brodman, and Corey O’Connor each added one goal in third quarter. Oswego led 11-6 going into the final quarter of play.
The Lakers and Cardinals went back and forth in the final quarter of play, with each team adding five goals in the quarter. Plattsburgh added three consecutive goals to start out the quarter, and cut the Laker lead to two. O’Connor and Liam McAlary each added a goal less than 20 seconds apart to give Oswego a four point lead. 30 seconds later, the Cardinals scored again and cut the Laker lead to three. Oswego then recorded three straight goals near the end of the match, with a goal by Coney, and two goals from O’Connor. Plattsburgh added one more goal with a minute left in regulation, but could not come back from the lead the Lakers built. Oswego defeated the Cardinals by a score of 16-11 at Laker Turf Stadium.
