This weekend, the women’s hockey team travelled to Willamstown, MA to take on Williams.

On Saturday, the Lakers would defeat the Ephs 7-2. At the end of the second period, the Lakers were up 2-0. In the third period, Alexa Aramburu would contribute to the five goal period by scoring three out of the five goals. This would be Aramburu’s second-career hat trick. Olivia Ellis also had a great game scoring one goal and assisting on all three of Aramburu’s goals.

On Sunday, the Lakers would again defeat the Ephs, but this time only by a score of 1-0. The lone goal came from Alexa Aramburu in the second period. Jacquelin White and Olivia Ellis assisted Aramburu’s goal. Mariah Madrigal recorded her second shutout of the season and seventh victory. Madrigal stopped all 32 of the Ephs’ on-goal attempts. She has now made 25 or more saves in each of her last three outings, all culminating in wins.

The Lakers will return home this weekend and play Canton in a Friday night game and a Saturday afternoon game.

Oswego, NY – Oswego State President Deborah Stanley sent students and faculty members an email on Sunday morning in response to President Donald Trump’s recent executive order banning travel into the United States from seven Muslim majority countries including Iraq, Syria, and Iran for 90 days.

The ban affects both non-immigrants and immigrants as well as those with a student or scholar visa. Green card holders were originally affected by the ban. However, according the New York Times, that decision has been reversed.

“There is considerable uncertainty about its implications,” Stanley wrote. “We advise great caution on the part of our international students, faculty and staff to consider carefully any travel outside the country or consider deferring travel until there is more clarity about how the Executive Order will affect us.”

Oswego State does not have a study abroad or international education program in any of the seven countries. Stanley advises those who are from any of those countries and are either planning to travel or are currently outside of the United States to seek the advice of an immigration lawyer before making travel plans.

“SUNY Oswego has always been a welcome and hospitable home for international students and visitors since our founding over 150 years ago,” she wrote. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to international students, scholars and programs for the creativity, intellectual rigor and cultural diversity you bring to our campus.”

According to the New York Times, a federal judge partially blocked Trump’s ban on refugees and other foreign nationals who were being held at U.S. airports on Saturday night. Protests against the ban continue across the country.  

If there are any questions or concerns, contact the Office of International Education and Programs at isss@oswego.edu or by calling 315-312-2118.

Hart Hall is home to many international students and some of the students may be affected by the ban.
