Lakers soccer get big SUNYAC win on the road
FREDONIA, N.Y. – The Oswego State Women’s soccer team took a trip out west to Fredonia, New York in a SUNYAC matchup Wednesday night. The Lakers started with possession off the kickoff and made a push downfield right away. Luigina Serrao was able to get a shot off only 3:00 minutes into the game and the Lakers almost took a lead, but the shot was stopped from a great save by Fredonia’s goalkeeper Dani Rubino. Both teams would trade possesion for the next couple minutes and about 6 minutes in Amber McDermott would receive her first yellow card. This gave Fredonia a spark and Talia DeFay would give the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead 9:13 in. There would be little action over the next 10 minutes of play before Katie Delgrosso would attempt a shot, barely missing right of the net. Fredonia would then follow that shot with three shots of their own, missing high on two of them, and Perri Anderson saving the other on a day where she would have 2 saves. Oswego would take the pass off of the goal kick, and Brianna Winkler would score her 5th goal of the year and the tying goal of the game assisted by Emma Rechtorovic.(28:23). Oswego would go into halftime tied at 1-1.
Oswego would come out with a fast start in the second half. The Lakers scored their second goal of the game just over 2 minutes into the half. Luigina Serrao would score the game winning goal and her 4th goal of the year, with Rechtorovic recording her second assist of the day. The Lakers would play lock down defense for the rest of the game not allowing Fredonia to get any shots off and controlling the pace of play. The Lakers would escape with a 2-1 win.
Oswego is 8-5-3 (3-3-2 in SUNYAC) while Fredonia falls to 2-8-4 (0-6-2 in SUNYAC). After this win the Lakers move up to 5th place in the SUNYAC as they continue to fight for a playoff spot.
