HOW IT HAPPENED

• Freshman Katie Delgrosso created some space and put a goal into the lower left corner to record her first goal of the season just 8:38 into the contest for Oswego.
• The Lakers dominated early action with six shots and four on-goal in the first 15 minutes of action, including a 3-0 edge in corners.
• With just over 15 minutes left in the first half, Delgrosso took a throw in down the right side and swung a cross into the box.
• Senior Liz Myers was there and put a header just high off the crossbar for a great scoring chance.
• Myers didn't have to wait long for another scoring chance as Oswego intercepted a Buffalo State goal kick and fed the ball to Graisa Madden in the midfield.
• Madden drove down the right side of the box and swung a pass back through the middle for Myers to redirect into the lower left corner for a 2-0 Laker lead.
• Oswego escaped a chance from the Bengals when they cut off a pass being cleared away from in front of the goal, but the shot went wide after some defensive pressure with 10 minutes left in the half.
• Sophomore Sara Marinaro turned momentum back with a shot that went off the Buffalo State goalies hands and in for a 3-0 advantage five minutes before the halftime break.
• The Lakers controlled possession after the half with a 10-0 edge in shots and a 5-1 corner kick advantage.
• Oswego's defense held Oswego without a shot-on-goal in the contest.
