How it Happened
Oswego's defense was tested from the opening whistle. Krautheim made seven saves in the first quarter, and the back line of Layla Sharp, Addyson Carrier and Julie Alvey held firm through five William Smith penalty corners to keep the game scoreless after 15 minutes. Krautheim added eight more saves in the second quarter, and the Lakers kept it close until the 26th minute, when the Herons broke through to take a 1-0 lead into halftime.

William Smith pulled ahead with three goals in the third quarter, but the Lakers regrouped in the fourth. Oswego held the Herons scoreless over the final 15 minutes, allowing only two shots, both saved by Krautheim. Sharp, Carrier, Alvey and Krautheim each played all 60 minutes, and Kara Malejs gave the Lakers 52 minutes off the bench.

Krautheim finished with 19 saves on 23 shots on goal. The Lakers drew 44 fouls but were held without a shot and did not earn a penalty corner.
