Not even a change of scenery could change the outcome as both Oswego State and Elmira College hockey teams battled to a tie for the second straight night. The Lakers and Soaring Eagles finished in a 2-2 deadlock at Romney Field House after starting the home-and-home series on Friday in Elmira.
That game finished in a 3-3 draw.
Oswego State (2-0-2) jumped out to a 2-0 lead as Jocelyn Dubord (LaChenaie, QUE) scored at the 17:10 mark of the opening period knocking in a rebound off of a shot from Scott Irwin (Mississauga, ONT). C.J. Thompson (Picton, ONT) also earned an assist on the play.
In the second period, Andy Rozak (Mississauga, ONT) scored from the slot while Oswego State was on the power play. Paul Perrier (Aurora, ONT) collected the lone assist on the goal that game 8:17 into the period.
The Soaring Eagles cut the deficit in half just 53 seconds later as Mark Mazzetti (Hamilton, ONT) tallied while Elmira was on the man advantage.
It remained a one-goal deficit into the third period when Elmira tied the game four minutes in. Tyler Schremp (Fulton, NY) sent a centering pass to Darcy Pettie (Milton, ONT), who netted his first goal of the season.
Freshman Ryan Scott (Williamsville, NY) made his first start for the Lakers and finished with 32 saves.
In goal for Elmira, Greg Fargo (Kingston, ONT) registered 37 saves.
The Lakers begin SUNY Athletic Conference play this coming weekend with their annual trip to the North Country. Oswego State will be at Potsdam on Friday, Nov. 5, and then head to defending SUNYAC champion Plattsburgh on Saturday, Nov. 6.
