OSWEGO — A big weekend coming up for the Lakers as they host Plattsburgh on Friday and Potsdam on Saturday. The Lakers will head into the action (3-5-1) overall, but more importantly (0-3) in conference play which makes these games even more important. Two wins this weekend would give the Lakers six points in the standings and would greatly improve their chances of getting one of the six spots in the SUNYAC championship tournament later this month.

Discipline continued to haunt both clubs all night, with only Oswego being guilty of receiving cards. Felix Freed, Cole Mueller, Morgan Burke, and Kieran Husselbeck were each given yellow cards throughout the match.
These yellow cards for the Lakers matched their season high from last season, where they were given four of them in their first game of the SUNYAC tournament against Cortland, where their season came to an end.
The Lakers will continue to seek their first victory of their 2025 season Tuesday night at Laker Turf where they’ll host Hamilton, while Clarkson will do the same when they face St. John Fisher Sunday afternoon.

Oswego Athletics put on hold for remainder of Spring Season
OSWEGO, NY — SUNY Oswego sports teams will have to conclude their seasons early due to the cancellation of NCAA spring sports. This comes after the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus that has been affecting sport leagues and events all over the United States and the world. Four teams from the college will have to call their season short after three out of the four teams began their 2020 season. Softball was the only Oswego team out of both Lacrosse teams and the Baseball team ,who has been on the road for their season so far, to not start their 2020 campaign. Men’s Lacrosse started off 3-1 as the group got three wins right off the bat before falling to Clarkson last week. Women’s Lacrosse finished at 2-2 as the group went 1-1 at home and then headed on the road for a 19-2 victory against Lycoming.
Besides these four sports teams, many other individuals are affected due to winter sports having individual championships for sports like track and field. Some Oswego student-athletes were competing for individual championships. The big question moving forward will be based around eligibility for athletes for next season. The NCAA has to decide if seniors would be allowed to play for their team next season. WTOP 10 will have updates on Oswego athletics once sports resume.
