HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Freshman Bailey Thomas owned the first grade-A shot, as she was gifted an open shooting-lane, ripping it from the blue line. Cortland goalie Chelsea Allain was just able to get her glove in front of the puck at 11:41.
• Netminder Cassie Shokar held the Red Dragons through a majority of the opening stanza, letting up just one tally, on the power-play with 43.3 seconds remaining in the period. Carly Weigold benefited from a rebound that bounced off Shokar's pad, as she put it in an open bottom left corner.
• Midway through the second period, Cortland sealed its fate with an insurance tally, as Katie DeVoe benefited from a puck that took an awkward bounce in front of the goal, before she ultimately lifted over Shokar's glove.
• Jean-marie Padden led the Lakers in shot on-goal opportunities with her greatest coming at 12:41 in the final period, on the Oswego power play. Padden positioned herself in front of Allain, receiving a pass from behind the net that she was quick to fire. Allain denied the goal, just barely corralling it into her glove.
• Captain Kate Randazzo, Philomena Teggart and Leah Czerwinski all had four shots on-goal.
• A Surrey, B.C. native, Shokar made 18 saves, spending the entire contest between the pipes for the Lakers.
• Oswego owned advantages in shots and shots on-goal (44-27, 28-20), while also having an edge in faceoff wins (30-17).
• The special teams was three for four on the penalty kill.
