Junior forward Hannah Ruberto (Holtsville, N.Y./Sachem East) stopped the run with a layup, while senior forward Kelly Degnan (Irvington, N.Y./Irvington) converted on an old-fashioned 3-point play with 34 seconds left in the opening stanza to cut the gap to 12-11.

The momentum changed hands several times down the stretch in the second quarter, and the Cardinals entered the halftime intermission with a 24-21 cushion.
 
Oswego ended up leading by as many as three points midway through the third quarter, but the Cardinals fought back, tying the score on three occasions before a Smith layup handed Plattsburgh State a 37-35 edge heading into the final regulation frame.
 
The Lakers held the upper hand in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, and a 3-pointer by Caivana staked Oswego to a 47-43 lead. Plattsburgh State responded with a 13-0 run, and Smith drilled a 3-pointer with 58 seconds to go to put the Cardinals up, 55-47.
