Luke Krizman and Matt Palmer rounded out Saturday's point-getters, as Krizman had an assist while Palmer scored a goal.
 
Giampaolo, Ben Roberts, Kyle Wistner, Ryan Kennish and Wyatt Russo tied for the team lead with two ground balls apiece. Roberts, Teddy Phillips and Joe Noce each recorded a caused turnover.
 
Russo played the duration of the game between the pipes for Oswego, stopping 10 Golden Eagle shot attempts.
 
Both teams tied with 33 shots each while Oswego cared for the ball well on the clear, completing 16-of-18 attempts successfully.
 
The Lakers will return to action at 7 p.m. on Tuesday when they travel to Potsdam for a rescheduled game, as the contest was postponed late on Wednesday due to unforeseen snowy conditions.
