The Oswego State women’s ice hockey team swept their home and home series against Cortland after their 4-1 win on Saturday. With the victory, the Lakers clinch the third seed in the NEWHL and move to 10-11-2 overall as well as 6-7-1 in conference action. The Red Dragons drop to 7-14-2 on the season.

Cortland was able to get on the board first when Katie DeVoe slapped one into the back of the net during the second period. It would not take Oswego long to answer though as Jean-Marie Padden was able to send a ricocheting puck past Cortland’s goalie, Rachael Farmer, just five minutes later.

In the third period, the Lakers’ offense was dominant with Olivia Ellis scoring her team-leading eighth goal of the season. Ellis would later assist on the goals from Kate Randazzo and Julieann White.

Cortland’s Farmer played all but 36 seconds in goal while recording 35 saves. Oswego’s Mariah Madrigal spent the entire game in net and stopped 14 shots.

The Lakers will return to action on Friday as they travel to Potsdam to take on the Bears. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm.

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.
