The Lazers maintained the offensive pressure throughout the second half but were unable to capitalize, sending the game into overtime.

Captain defenseman Kyle Johnson kept Onondaga alive in overtime. After Bhuwan Basnet popped a save into the air, Johnson kicked the ball away from the open net preventing a game winning goal for SUNY ESF.
