Oswego State Women’s Lacrosse Prepares for Rematch Against Buffalo State
OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego Women’s Lacrosse team is looking to end their 3-game losing streak as they take on the Buffalo State Bengals on Monday, April 19th. This will be the Lakers second game against Buffalo State this season, with their previous matchup being a 14-6 victory on April 10th. Oswego has four games left in the regular season and the push for the playoffs has begun across the women’s lacrosse west division.
The outcome of Monday’s contest will have a pivotal impact on Oswego’s postseason chances. After a 13-point loss to SUNY Brockport on April 17th, the Lakers dropped to 3-3 on the season and 2-2 in SUNYAC games. With only three games left in the season following their matchup against Buffalo State, it’s important for Oswego to win in order to stay within reach of one of the playoff spots in the west division. Buffalo State is currently on a 6-game losing streak, including a 23-2 loss vs the Brockport Golden Eagles on April 16th. The Bengals will be lead by senior midfielder and leading scorer, Samantha Burlow, who has 10 goals on the season. Sophomore goalkeeper, Janae Nelson, has totaled 65 saves on the season and will anchor the Buffalo State defense all game. Though, she’ll be facing a high-powered Laker offense, lead by Sela Wiley, who’s scored 22 goals this season. Look for freshman midfielder, Shae McConnell, to have a big role in this game as she scored 4 goals in their previous game against Buffalo State. Both teams are desperate for a late season win, so expect a competitive game on Monday. Oswego is 17-10 against Buffalo State all-time and will look to improve their record to 2-0 versus the Bengals in 2021. Face off is set for 4:00 p.m. at Laker Turf Stadium and WTOP 10 will be at the field for all the action.
