In the first set, Oswego trailed by two points nearly half-way through. At 12-10 in favor of the host Wolfpack, Oswego gained control by going on a 15-2 run to capture the opening game 25-14. That run was spurred by a 6-0 spurt, headed by three kills from freshman Ariel Murawski. Sophomore Jessica Long was also pivotal in that span, getting the first point with a kill before holding serve for the next five points, including an ace.
The Lakers did not let up in the middle set, breaking an early 8-8 tie and growing it into a 19-12 advantage. Keuka tried to claw its way back into the set, narrowing the Oswego lead to just three at 20-17, but the Lakers fended off the attempt, scoring five of the final seven points for the victory.
It was business as usual in what proved to be the final set, as Oswego built a positive margin of as many as eight over the Wolfpack before reaching 15 points. Although Keuka was able to cut the deficit in half a few times, it never got closer than four before the Lakers were able to wrap up the match.
As a squad, Oswego hit .250, led by an outstanding .625 clip from senior Kelsey Dillon. Dillon finished with six kills, as did Murawski, Megan Russell and Emma Moriarty, but needed just eight total attacks to do so.
Junior Lauren Edwards collected a team-high 15 assists, while senior Rachael Ruggaber tossed in nine. Ruggaber was also busy in the digs department, accumulating a team-high 16.
Russell added to her tie for the top-spot in kills on the night by claiming the most blocks, assisting on two. Murawski, senior Kim Cassa and freshman Alison Sullivan each chipped in one block.
Oswego will return home for its next match, another nonconference tilt, this time with Cazenovia College. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday in Max Ziel Gymnasium and is the team's second to last match at home this season.
