Lakers Earn First Win Against Elmira
The Oswego State field hockey team gave Heather Moore her first win as the head coach after defeating Elmira College by a score of 5-4.
Playing on their home turf, the Lakers were the first to get on the board, courtesy of a goal by Jordan Sheehy. After the Soaring Eagles tied it up just over ten minutes later, Monica Harvey scored her first goal for Oswego. Elmira would score again to send the game into a 2-2 tie at the half.
In the second half, Elmira scored quickly to give themselves a one point lead. That would not remain for long though as Harvey connected with Katie Reynolds to even the game. Harvey finished the night with a career-best seven points including two goals and three assists. Her last point came in the 63rd minute on what turned out to be the game-winning goal by Kendra Walker.
Lakers goalie Sarita Charap stopped 22 shots in the full 70 minutes with her defense also stopping three shots. Julie Hockenberger finished with five saves for the Soaring Eagles.
Oswego, now 1-2, will look to continue their winning ways on the road against Wells College on Saturday.

President Trump calls for stricter punishment for terriorists
by Amada Caba
N.Y.– “We have to come up with punishment that’s far quicker and far greater than the punishment these animals are getting right now,” President Trump said in response to yesterday’s terrorist attack in NYC.
The attack left eight people dead. The suspect is 29-year old Sayufllo Saipov from Uzbekistan who lives in New Jersey. It has been confirmed that the attack was made in the name of ISIS.
The president said he views the way the United States prosecutes terrorists as a laughing stock. The president said this in front of the head of the justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The president’s speech relates to what he has proposed during his campaign which threatened to torture and “load up” suspects in Guantanamo Bay.
Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, defended the President of the United States by claiming that he said “the process has people calling us a joke and calling us a laughingstock” and that he was just expressing his frustrations with the lengthy judicial process that comes with cases like this.
Earlier today, Governor Andrew Cuomo called the President’s tweets “unhelpful” and “not factual”.
“You play into the hands of the terrorist to the extent that you disrupt, divide and frighten people in the society. The tone should be the opposite on all level,” said Gov. Cuomo.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also warned people to not stereotype all Muslims as extremists as this would only makes the situation worse.

Syracuse Chiefs dormant stocks cleared with new ownership
By Ryan Fox
OSWEGO, N.Y.– Two years ago, 4,000 people held stock in the Syracuse Chiefs. This year, that number is down to 1,700. Syracuse.com reports that the Chiefs turned over 5,626 shares held by 2,300 people to New York state in 2015 and 2016 as abandoned property because the club had lost contact with their owners.According to Chiefs General Manager Jason Smorol, the team had no choice but to turn over the stocks, as it was required to clear its shareholder rolls of “dormant” stock by the state’s Abandoned Property Law. Under this law, businesses in New York are required to transfer abandoned money or securities to the state comptroller’s Office of Unclaimed Funds in a process called escheatment. While the transfer of dormant stock is required by state law, Syracuse.com reports that the Chiefs had never transferred it before their 2013 change in leadership.
The Chiefs have been community owned since 1961, when the AAA Montreal Royals moved down to Central New York. The local community wanted to ensure their team would be in Syracuse without worrying about a satellite owner moving it to a bigger market. Shares of the team were sold in 1961 and 1967 at $10 a share. With the team’s impending sale to the New York Mets, an official Chiefs press release values valid shares at $1,440 a peice. Abandoned shares have been frozen at $19 a share.
Syracuse.com reports that Smorol is in talks with the Comptroller’s Office about reissuing stock to those who come forward before the sale to the Mets goes through.
Owners of purged shares can contact the state comptroller’s office to try and reinstate their shares at (800) 221-9311.
