The Oswego State men’s and women’s lacrosse teams will be in action this coming weekend as the men play host to Keuka College and the women host Utica College. The men, coming off an impressive 12-7 win over Alfred on Tuesday look to keep up the terrific play while the women’s team looks to rebound after a tough loss last Saturday to #9 ranked York College. The men’s game will be at 1pm with the women set to face off at 4pm. If you can’t make it to Laker Turf Stadium, you can catch both games right here on WTOP-10.

In their first ever game as a member of the NEWHL, the Oswego State women’s ice hockey team defeated Buffalo State 3-0 on Saturday. With the victory, the Lakers move to 2-1 overall with a 1-0 conference record while the Bengals drop to 1-4 on the season and 1-2 in the conference.

Although Oswego State was outshot in the contest, the Lakers remained in control mainly because of the amount of faceoffs won and their timely goals. In the first period, Oswego State’s Eryn Stewart opened the scoring with her second goal of the season on an assist from senior Olivia Ellis. After a Victoria Rankin goal in the second and an injury to Buffalo State’s starting goalie Justine Silva, Ellis capped off the Lakers’ scoring to seal the game.

Before exiting the game, Justine Silva made 20 saves for the Bengals while also allowing two goals. Mariah Madrigal played all 60 minutes of the game in goal for the Lakers and tied her season-high with 33 saves. The shutout marks her second clean sheet of the season.

Oswego will look to sweep the weekend series against Buffalo State at home on Sunday at 3:00 pm.

This past weekend the women’s hockey team hosted Cortland in ECAC West action on Saturday and Sunday.

There was no scoring from either team until the third period in Saturday’s game. Just 25 seconds into the period, Cortland scored but Oswego was quick to respond. 32 seconds after Cortland scored, Jacquelin White scored to tie the game at one. White would light the lamp again to give the Lakers a 2-1 win.

On Sunday, Alexa Aramburu got the first goal of the game 13 minutes into the first period. Olivia Ellis and Jacquelin White assisted Aramburu’s goal. With the assist, Ellis set a new program record for assists with 36. Andrea Noss scored the Lakers second and final goal of the game.

With the two wins from this past weekend, the Lakers move to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in conference. The Lakers will go on the road Saturday and Sunday and take on the reigning Division III National Champions, the Plattsburgh Cardinals.
