Jared Hussey closed the margin with a goal at 5:29 and another with 36 seconds remaining in the half. The Riverhawks scored two more goals in the 2nd quarter to lead 8-4.

Bryant Moses put the first one of the second half in the net for the Lazers to light the fire for Onondaga, followed by Gabe Edwards at 10:11 on man-up opportunity, Cooper Taft at 1:54, and it was Reef Beal who tied it all up at 8-8 to end the 3rd quarter with his 16th goal of the season. After a shot clock violation on the Riverhawks, the Lazers took their first lead 7 minutes into the 4th quarter on a goal from Cooper Taft with the assist from Ethan Petrus.
