Tying Murawski's match-high three blocks was classmate Alison Sullivan, with each players total coming on assists. Sullivan chipped in five kills at a .444 clip as well.

In the aces column, libero Jessica Long matched Murawski with three of her own. The junior also tied for a team-high eight digs, along with senior Emma Moriarty.

Senior Lindsey Champitto paced Oswego with 10 assists on sets to couple with four digs. Classmate Lauren Edwards had seven assists, five digs and one ace.

Rounding out the team's kill total were Isabella Winklestine and Meaghan Roefs with three apiece and Champitto, Megan Russell and Laura Finn adding one each. Winklestine also had five digs and a block assist. Russell ended with two block assists while Roefs had one.
