HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a Red Dragon tally closed the first stanza, Bobby Emerson reestablished a four-goal lead in Oswego's favor, helped along by Schof less than two minutes into the quarter.
• A four-goal run by the host closed out the half, before they opened the third quarter with a goal less than 40 seconds in. Doolan was quick to knot the game at six, to complete his fifth hat trick of the season, unassisted at 11:12.

• O'Donnell - the Laker goalie - was stout in net, making 18 saves while collecting a team-best six ground balls.
