Oswego Women’s Lacrosse Defeats Buffalo State

By Luke Rosenthal — 5 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego Women’s Lacrosse team improved to 3-0 in the 2021 season on Saturday, defeating the Buffalo State Bengals 14-6. Oswego remains undefeated to start their season and moves to 2-0 in conference play, putting them in great position for a postseason run.

Buffalo State’s Samantha Burlow put the Bengals up early, scoring the game’s first goal three minutes into the half. However, that would be the only lead Buffalo State would have all game. Junior attack, Logan Castiglione, scored the Lakers first goal and followed that up with three consecutive assists. Freshman midfielder, Shae McConnell, who was recognized as Oswego’s Female Athlete of the Week on April 5th, scored four goals in Saturday’s performance. Sophomore midfielder, Sela Wiley, continued her stellar start to the season, totaling four goals and four assists. Oswego goalkeeper, Delaney Kendrick, also had her best outing of the season, racking up 9 saves versus the Bengals. The Lakers will now turn their attention to their highly anticipated matchup vs SUNY Geneseo, who lost their first game of the season on Saturday, falling to St. John Fisher College in a 11-10, 2-overtime loss. Faceoff is set for 4:00 p.m. at Geneseo.

Oswego State softball splits in weekend double-header

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Oswego State softball team split a road double-header against Buffalo State this weekend. Oswego defeated the Bengals 3-2 in the first seven-inning game, but fell 13-4 in the following five-inning game. The Lakers had a total of eight players record hits, including Zoe Mennig and Aleah Yaizzo who each had three on the day.

The first contest was a thriller that saw Oswego open things up with a RBI double from Tai Smith, giving the Lakers an early 1-0 lead. Though, Buffalo State answered immediately, scoring two runs of their own in the second inning. Mennig later gave the momentum back to the Lakers as she tied the game with a solo home run in the fourth frame. The game remained knotted up until the sixth inning where Taylor Dubois hit a clutch single, allowing Menning to score on her second run of the game. Oswego finished the seventh inning off strong and pulled away with a 3-2 victory heading into the next game. Fiona Higgins continued her stellar season, picking up 10 strikeouts in the contest.

Oswego opened game the second match off strong, scoring three runs in the first inning courtesy of Mennig, Yaizzo, and Mattison Phinney. Though, much like the previous contest, Buffalo State responded quickly as they tied the game 3-3 in the second inning. This was the closest the game would be from there on out as the very next inning saw the Bengals add five more runs to their tally, taking a 8-3 lead. Buffalo repeated their third inning performance in the fourth, piling on another five runs. Although Zoe Mennig crossed home plate once more in the fifth and final inning, Oswego was unable to overcome the large deficit. Buffalo State went on to win 13-4.

Following the double-header, Oswego moves to 4-9 on the season and sits in a four-team tie for fourth place in the SUNYAC conference. The Lakers will have the opportunity to build upon these string of games as the faceoff with SUNY Fredonia in a Monday afternoon double-header. Game 1 is set for 3:00 p.m. while game 2 is slated for a 5:00 p.m. start at Fredonia.

Oswego Men’s Hockey falls to Geneseo in SUNYAC game

By Zac Case — 6 years ago

OSWEGO, NY — Men’s Hockey played their postponed game Sunday night that was supposed to be a Friday night match up against Geneseo. The Knights would win 5-3 after they were the only team to get on the board in the first period. Junior Carson Vance would be the only Laker to tally a goal in the second period as he capitalized on the power play. Geneseo would take a 3-1 in the third period before Max Novick tallied one off a pass from Alex DiCarlo as the freshman extended his points streak. Michael Gillespie would tie the game just 1:14 minutes later after a shot that went off the boards behind the Geneseo goalie. Geneseo would get the game winner with less than two minutes remaining and an empty net goal to secure their 17th win of the season and extend their barrier between Oswego for first place in the SUNYAC conference.

The Lakers travel to Morrisville next weekend for a must needed four points to make sure the team stays in the second seed heading into playoffs. Buffalo State will be the last test for Oswego before heading into conference playoffs.
