  • The Bears were able to find the back of the net with just over two minutes remaining, but Oswego answered back with 57 seconds to play in the first half, off an unassisted goal from Trey Jones. Oswego entered the break with a 7-3 lead.

  • Potsdam opened the third period with a goal to cut the lead to three.

  • Jason Dongelewic made it a 8-4 lead with a goal of his own with 14:01 remaining.

  • Finally, Laker goal-leader Gavin Elston scored a crucial goal with 11:34 remaining to reclaim a two-goal lead. This briefly slowed the Bear momentum.

  • Sexton scored off an assist from Delany with 8:24 remaining, pushing the lead back to 12-10. Less than a minute later, the Bears scored again. With seven minutes to go, the fourth period felt like the equivalent of two boxers punching back and forth. 

  • With less than five minutes remaining, Potsdam broke through to the scoring stalemate to tie the game at 12.

  • Max Brodman made his impact on the game with 2:34 left, feeding Delany at a perfect angle to score and give Oswego the lead. This forced Potsdam to take a timeout with just over a minute remaining. They called another timeout almost immediately after play resumed.

  • The last minute of the game was intense, with Potsdam getting off a shot that was deflected away. Oswego gained possession in the ensuing scramble, and the Bears committed a penalty with ten seconds remaining to sink their chances of forcing overtime. Oswego hung on to win 13-12.
