Senior Forward Shawn Hulshof of the Oswego State men’s ice hockey team has been named the State University of New York Athletic Conference Ice Hockey player of the week. This is the third time in his career that Hulshof has won SUNYAC weekly honors.

In the game against Morrisville State on Friday night, with the Lakers ahead by a score of 2-1 in the third, Hulshof scored within the first 30 seconds of the period to put the team up by two. He was aided by Stephen Johnson and Matt Galati on the goal. With under a minute to go in regulation, the senior scored an empty-net goal to seal the 4-1 victory for Oswego State.

On Saturday night, against the same Morrisville State Mustangs, the Ontario native netted another goal midway into the second period, giving the Lakers a 5-1 lead. He would later assist the Stephen Johnson goal that put the Lakers up 8-1 late in the third period.

With Hulshof’s help, Oswego State remains undefeated on the season with a 9-0 record, and atop of the NCAA Division III Hockey polls.

The Lakers are back in action this weekend as they head out to Western New York to face Fredonia and Buffalo State on Friday and Saturday. Puck drop for both games is at 7 p.m.

The Oswego State women’s lacrosse team defeated the RIT Tigers by a score of 15-13 on Monday. With the win, the Lakers move to 2-0 overall while the Tigers drop to 0-1.

Oswego found themselves down early in the game as they trailed 3-1. They would respond though with a 9-0 run led by Toni Laneve and Brigid Regin. While it seemed at times the Lakers would seal the game, the Tigers kept clawing their way back in it. RIT outscored Oswego by four goals in the second half but fell just short.

Regin led all scorers with a game-high five goals while Laneve added a hat trick. Oswego’s Teresa Shattuck played a part in seven of the team’s scores with three goals and four assists.

The Lakers will head on the road for the first time this season to take on Clarkson University on Wednesday. Face-off is scheduled for 4 pm.

The Oswego State field hockey team lost to New Paltz by a final score of 5-3 on Friday afternoon as their losing streak moved to four games. After the defeat, the Lakers drop to 5-7 on the season and 2-3 in the SUNYAC while the Hawks improve to 5-9 overall and 3-1 in the conference.

In the first half of the contest, New Paltz dominated on both sides of the ball with their leading scorer, Justine O’Reilly, putting them on the board first and outstanding play from their goalie, Megan Gangwere. The Hawks went into halftime with a 3-0 lead but then Oswego found a spark from Katie Reynolds. With commotion going on near the net, Reynolds somehow found Kathleen Little to give the Lakers their first goal. Just over a minute later, the junior earned her second assist after getting the ball to Monica Harvey for another score on a penalty corner. After scoring a goal that put Oswego within one, Reynolds finished her day with four points and has a team-leading total of 22 for the season. Just as the Lakers seemed that they would complete the comeback, New Paltz’s O’Reilly put the game away with her second goal coming in the 67th minute.

Oswego will look to keep their SUNYAC playoff chances alive, today on Senior Day, against Oneonta at 1:00 at Laker Turf Stadium.
