Senior Tony DiNunzio scored the game-winning goal with 2:58 left in the third period and added an empty-net goal for insurance.

After a scoreless first period, Ryan Ellis put Oswego State in front with a power-play goal just 28 seconds into the second period. Fredonia answered with two power-play goals of its own in a span of 51 seconds during the middle portion of the period. The Lakers tied it at 2-2 when Neil Musselwhite scored a short-handed goal late in the second period.

DiNunzio's late goals gave Oswego State the victory.
