Lakers Suffer Loss Against Fredonia
The Oswego State women’s basketball team fell to Fredonia on Saturday by a score of 66-50. With the loss, the Lakers drop to 7-16 overall and 4-12 in conference play while the Blue Devils improve to 9-15 on the season.
The two teams appeared to be evenly matched as they ended the first quarter tied at 16. Fredonia’s Jenna Einick changed that as she was able to dominate against Oswego’s weak defense, scoring 16 points in the first half. She would finish with a game high 25 points. As a team, the Blue Devils shot 59.3% from the field during that span.
Oswego was able to cut the deficit to single digits at times in the second half but Fredonia had the answers. This was largely in part to their ability to score off turnovers as they outscored the Lakers 26-8. Oswego finished the game with 19 turnovers while Fredonia finished with 15.
Courtney Ameele (17) was one of three Lakers that scored in double digits along with Rachael Windhausen (11) and Erin Gantley (10).
Oswego will look to end their two game skid next weekend when they host Brockport at Max Ziel Gymnasium. Tip off is scheduled for 5:30.

Port City Co-Op Antique Store
by Sabina Longo, WTOP10-TV
Port City Co-Op is an antique store that is hidden on West Second Street in downtown Oswego. The store celebrated its two year anniversary on Tuesday, November 1. Linda Demassi had the idea to open up Port City Co-Op and help bring more local businesses to Oswego.
Originally the store opened with ten vendors but now there are 37. With more vendors selling their items, the store needed to be expanded and that is when the owners of Port-City bought out the soap store that is located nextdoor.
Antiques and unique items are not the only reason why people shop here. Mary Waite is a regular at Port City and says she loves all the different items because it brings back nostalgic memories. It reminds her of her childhood.
Linda Demassi encourages people to shop local because, “it’s huge to shop local, for the economy, the city. Shopping local is huge to keep the small businesses”
Port City Co-Op is opened on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 5pm, Thursday to Friday from 11am to 6pm, Saturday from 11am to 5pm and Sunday from 11am to 3pm.
