Junior forwards Cole Palmer and Luke Mizro sniped two goals each to lead the explosive offense. Jack Torrey, Kaden Rutledge, Trevor Jensen, and Jack Marquardt chipped in goals.
Jack Dement scored for CBA/J-D with 9:26 left in the contest to spoil what would have been the Lakers’ 12th shutout of the season.
