Senior forward Brendan McLaughlin (Brampton, Ont.)  tallied a pair of goals and an assists, scoring the winning goal with 4:27 remaining in the third period, to lead Oswego State (4-1-0 overall, 2-0-0 SUNYAC) to its fourth straight win with a 5-4 triumph over SUNY Fredonia in a SUNYAC men's hockey contest at Fredonia. The victory gave head coach Ed Gosek his 100th career coaching win. In his sixth year as the mentor of the Laker hockey program, Gosek has a 100-32-13 career mark, with his .761 win percentage currently making him the winningest coach in the program's history.

McLaughlin's game winner came after the host Blue Devils (2-4-1, 0-3-0 SUNYAC) scored twice in a 2:55 minute span in the third period to tie the game at 4-4 with 7:15 remaining in the period.  Freshman defender Hank Van Boxmeer  (Orange, CA) and senior Ryan Ellis (Georgetown, Ont.) assisted on the winning goal.

Ellis, the game's third star, finished with a goal and two assists, while junior Brad Dormiedy (Ajax, Ont.) and sophomore Joe Hall (Schaumburg, IL) each tallied a goal and an assists.  Freshman Eric Selleck (Shanley, Ont.) registered a pair of assists.

After a scoreless opening period, the Lakers jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals from Ellis (5:52), McLaughlin (17:57), and Hall (18:08) before Fredonia got on the board with :46 remaining in the period on a power play goal from junior forward James Muscatello.  Muscatello opened the third period with his second goal 1:57 into the third period to pull the Blue Devils to within a goal before Oswego regained its two-goal lead on a goal from Dormiedy at 7:51

Fredonia tied the game up with goals from senior forward Richard Boyce (9:50) and junior forward Andrew Dissanayake (12:45) before McLaughlin tallied the game winner.

Laker senior goalie Chris Hyk (Hamilton, Ont.) stopped 33 of 37 shots to improve to 2-1-0 on the season, while Fredonia junior Pat Street made 40 saves on 45 Oswego shots in picking up the loss.

Oswego continues its Western New York road swing on Saturday for a 7:00 p.m. contest at Buffalo State College.
