HOW IT HAPPENED
For the second-straight day, neither team could break through in the first two periods.
The third period featured a parade of players to the penalty box, but quality scoring chances were still at a premium until Oswego finally broke through while each team was playing a player down. Avery Webster raced down the right win and wristed a shot inside the far post with just 2:41 remaining for the game’s only goal.
The Bengals were afforded one more power play with just over a minute left, but could not capitalize, finishing the game 0 for 9 with the extra attacker.
Bri Gawronski (Dunkirk, NY/Mt. Mercy) stopped 34 of the 35 shots she faced as Oswego finished with a narrow 35-34 shots on goal edge.
The Lakers were 0 for 3 on the power play.
FOR THE FOES
Rachel Farmer made 34 stops for her second shutout in as many days.
UP NEXT
Buffalo State will not be in action again until Saturday, Nov. 24 at Morrisville State at 1 p.m.
