This time around the Lakers dominated from start to finish and were able to knock off the Bengals by a 4-0 score. Tyler Leimbrock got the scoring going for Oswego, his 9th of the year, with a power play goal at the 5:40 mark of the 1st period. That was the only time either team found the back of the net in the opening frame. Oswego out shot Buffalo State in the opening period 13-2. To the 2nd period we go and Oswego would connect twice more to take a 3-0 lead. First Luke Moodie scored his 16th of the year at the 5:19 mark to give the Lakers a 2-0. Oswego's lead would increase to 3-0 thanks to a power play goal, and the first goal of his career, from Bobby Gertsakis. The goal was scored at 11:05 of the period, and I'm sure its one he'll remember for a long time. Oswego would cap off the scoring on the night when Chris Muise scored his 6th of the year at the 18:40 mark of the 3rd period to seal the game and the 4-0 win.
Oswego outshot Buffalo State 33-18 for the hockey game. Kevin Carr took the loss for Buffalo State, dropping his record on the year to 10-11-2, while he made 29 saves in the loss. Andrew Hare picked up the win for Oswego, improving his record to 15-3-0, while making 18 saves in the shutout. For Hare it was career shutout number 10, giving him a new school record for career shutouts. Offensively Chris Muise ( goal two assists) and Chris Brown (three assists) had the big nights for Oswego. After sweeping both games from Buffalo State this year, Oswego still remains unbeaten all time with a 37-0-4 record in history against the Bengals.
SAo after Oswego took care of the Bengals, it was off to Steele Hall Ice Arena in Fredonia to take on the Blue Devils. Last time these two teams played was back in Oswego in mid-November and Oswego walked away with a 7-1 victory. So Fredonia had revenge on their minds. It was a tight checking hockey game, and Oswego somehow pulled out the 3-2 victory and sweep the road trip.
Bobby Gertsakis got Oswego on the board first, with his 2nd goal in as many days, a power play goal 6:08 into the hockey game. Fredonia would eventually get on the board, when at the 18:06 mark Stephen Castriota scored his 4th of the year to tie the game at 1. To the 2nd period we go and it took only 1:47 before Oswego untied the game thanks to Chris Muise 4th of the season. Fredonia would tie the game up again at two thanks to Taylor Bourne's 5th of the year, a power play goal, at the 5:10 mark. Oswego would retake the lead for good at the 19:54 mark of the 2nd period thanks to Bobby Gertsakis 2nd of the night and 3rd of the year, another powerplay goal. Fredonia had their chances in the 3rd period to tie things up but Oswego held the fort down and walked away with the 3-2 win.
Andrew Hare picked up the win for Oswego, improving his record to 16-3-0, while making 17 saves in the win. Mark Friesen took the loss for Fredonia, dropping his record to 6-11-3, while making 29 saves in the loss. Leading the way for Oswego tonight was Bobby Gertsakis (two goals) Chris Brown (three assists) Chris Ayotte (two assists) and Chris Muise (goal assist) That Chris Cubed line has been a solid 2nd line for Oswego over the past few weeks that they have played together. For Bobby Gertsakis it was the first three goals of his career. The sophmmore defenseman is known for play in his own zone and the three goal outburst served as sort of a coming out party offensively.
Oswego closes out the regular season with a trip to the North Country. Friday February 15th Oswego heads to Massena Arena to take on the Potsdam Bears at 7PM. Then its the final game of the regular season, and possible SUNYAC Championship game preview, as Satruday February 16th Oswego heads to the Ronald B Stafford Ice Arena to take on the rival Plattsburgh State Cardinals at 7PM!
