Women’s Basketball Earns Their First Win
The Oswego State women’s basketball team kicked off the Max Ziel Tournament with a 66-27 win over Medgar Evers College Friday night. With the victory, the Lakers move to 1-1 on the season while also giving head coach Sean Pinkerton the first win of his Oswego career. The Medgar Evers Cougars remain winless as they fall to 0-2.
Unlike their first game of the season in which the offense struggled, Oswego was able to start the game on an 8-0 run against the Cougars. The dominance on offense would continue for the Lakers as they led 32-8 going into halftime. Tatyana Fish led the team with eight points in the first half and finished with 13. Her teammate, Courtney Ameele also contributed a game high fifteen points to go along with five steals.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Lakers hauled in 58 rebounds with Morgan Wolanin grabbing a career-high 12 of them. Rachel Windhausen was just as effective as she had eight rebounds and three blocks.
Oswego will be back in action tomorrow as they try to capture the Max Ziel Tournament title at 4 pm against Elmira College.

Rokerthon 3
by Ilyssa Weiner
Oswego, NY- Today meteorologist Al Roker (‘76) will be returning to his alma mater to break a world record. Oswego State will be the last stop on “Rokerthon 3” and Today’s “Storming Into the Madness” college tour.
Roker will be returning to campus to break the Guinness World Record for the longest conga line on ice.
The current record is 353 skaters, held by the Ice Rink Canary Wharf in the United Kingdom. They have been holding this record since 2013.
Oswego State is looking for more than 400 students to help break this record. It will be broadcasted live on Today on Mar. 31. Participants are asked to arrive at the Marano Campus Center arena by five a.m.
To sign up, fill out this Google form with your Oswego State email.
If you are not interested in skating but still want to see the record broken, fans will be able to watch from the arena seats in their green and gold gear from seven to nine a.m. -
Earth Week
Earth Week may be coming to a close, but what did you miss? Quite a bit tobe frank. This past week SUNY Oswego celebrated everything that earth does for us and demonstrated support for environmental protections. This week the campus celebrated and presented the contributions that students and faculty have made thus far in order to preserve our schools beauty and environment.
On Monday we discussed how the removal of plastic and wastes from around campus and the dining halls has genuinely made a big impact on the amount of plastic that is discarded on a day to day basis.
On Tuesday we participated in reducing car usage by being able to use amenities provided to us through the Sustainability office such as bike share where you can rent a bike from the office located in Hewitt and bus share which provided alternate transportation for commuter students.
On Wednesday a climate change panel co-hosted by the Environmental Advisory Council and the Sustainability office discussed the challenges within the concept of climate change which will feature multiple different faculty members all representing a different program of study at Oswego.
On Thursday we focused on using alternate search engines that give back to the planet such as Ecosia which has been using their profits since 2009 to plant trees which has resulted in over 54 million trees being planted. We also focused on our new printing program Lakerprint which is projected to save around 120,000 sheets of paper a year due to getting rid of banner pages and sheets with our names.
However on Friday Lucas Grove a senior philosophy-psychology major will present the progress he has made in the “Fresh Water for All” project.
If you would like to learn more about Earth Week or simply would like to get involved around campus you can email the Director of Sustainability on campus Jamie Adams at jamie.adams@oswego.edu or call the office at 315.312.2500.
