• Julien Crittendon and Tim Marshall each finished with 11-point showings while the duo of Tyler Pierre and Louis Fedullo had 10 apiece.
• Fedullo hit the glass as well, having the second-most rebounds for the Lakers with seven.

• Also scoring for the Lakers were Hunter Cole (5), Allen Durutovic (5), Cal McTigue (4), Quinn Carey (3), Eric Sanfilippo (1) and Bo Sireika (1).
• As a team, Oswego shot the ball well, registering 55.2-percent from the field and 44.8 from long distance.
