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 men’s lacrosse team defeated the Keuka College Wolves 17-6 on Saturday. With the victory, the Lakers move to 5-1 overall while the Wolves drop to 3-2.

Oswego got off to a strong start in the first half, scoring six goals apiece during the first and second quarters. At halftime, they held a 12-2 lead and a large 31-9 shot advantage. Tim Schof led the Lakers with four goals while Kyle Bacon scored three of his own. Keuka scored three straight goals in the third in what possibly looked like a run but Caleb Alford’s goal ended any momentum the Wolves had.

Oswego’s Kevin O’Donnell stopped six shots in the first half before giving way to Brody Carter and Harrison Levy. Carter and Levy made a combined seven saves.

The Lakers’ next game is scheduled for this Wednesday at 4:00 when they take on Utica College at home. This will also be the team’s St. Baldrick’s Foundation community service event.

OSWEGO, N.Y.– Finding a way home for Thanksgiving Break can be stressful for students without a means of transportation. SUNY Oswego offers a few ways for students to travel home during long breaks.

The college offers three ways for students to travel home for breaks; shuttle bus, college express bus, and zip cars.

The Greyhound and Trailways shuttle buses travel from the Regional Transportation Center (RTC) and Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport. The College Express is a bus shuttle service from SUNY Oswego to downstate, including stops in New York City, New Jersey, Rockland and Orange Counties, Queens and Long Island. The prices for the College Express service varies between one way, round trip, walk on and reservations.

If you would like to buy a ticket, you can visit Lesley Wallace in the Compass to make your reservation, and she will handle your payments and any other information a student may have.
SUNY Oswego offers Zipcars for students who do not wish to ride a bus, train, or plane. Zipcars are a rental car service where members of the service can reserve a car for as little as 1 hour or as long as 7 days. The prices vary, depending on the car and hour long you wish to borrow the car, but gas and insurance are included. Student memberships are $15.

To purchase tickets for the Greyhound shuttle, go to the Compass located at 145 Marano Campus Center. Tickets are being sold for $10 one way or $20 round trip; both are cash only. To sign up for zipcar, visit http://www.zipcar.com/oswego/.
