Oswego State women’s basketball picks up dominant non-conference win
OSWEGO N.Y. — Domination, decimation, good ole fashioned whoopin. Just a few words to describe the Oswego State women’s basketball team and their incredible 75-39 victory over the SUNY Delhi Broncos. The Lakers are a very dangerous team and continued to prove this with their impressive performance Tuesday night, as they advanced to 2-1 on the season. Now on a two game winning streak, the Lakers are laser focused as they have an immense amount of potential this year. The freshman in particular balled out this game. For the second week in a row freshman Diamond Pickett led the Lakers in scoring with thirteen points, as well as an astonishing 16 rebounds. Pickett played well on both sides of the ball. Freshman Elania Johnson was right behind in scoring with twelve points. Two young ladies with extremely bright futures here in Oswego. Chastin Giles and Danielle Caivana also had impressive performances in this game. The Lakers were off to a lightning fast start, scoring twenty-five points in the first quarter compared to the Broncos ten. From there the defense went off holding the Broncos to just fourteen points in the second and third quarter. Outscoring the Broncos in all four quarters, this game was never close. Now it’s back to the office as the Lakers get ready for their next game. Oswego State looks to keep this win streak alive when they go on the road to face SUNY Poly at 5:00 p.m. in the SUNY Morrisville tournament this Friday.

Game Recap: Oswego Hockey falls to Baldwinsville
OSWEGO, NY — Monday evening, the Oswego Boys Buccaneers Hockey team welcomed the Baldwinsville Bees into the Crisafulli Ice Rink for a Section III Hockey matchup. The Bees were on a mission to snap a two-game losing streak while Oswego looked to start a four-game series off on a high note. Senior goaltender Brayden Demling would once again start in net for Oswego but would not last that long as freshman forward Sam Ciappa would net his first goal of the game. The Bee would later tally two more for a hat trick in his first season with the team. But, that would come after Demling was replaced by backup netminder Mason Kurilovitch. This would be the first time the goaltender has seen action in the first period, and would later give up three goals during his time in between the posts. Marcus Baker would score the first Buccaneer goal before the end of the first stanza to make it a 3-1 hockey game.
Lukas Cady was able to tally his third goal of the season on the powerplay in the first part of the second period. However, Baldwinsville would not look back. The Bees would add two more in the period and cap off the game with an additional tally in the third period. Sophomore netminder Jon Schirmer would allow two goals in the contest and get his second win of the season in net for the Bees.
Oswego now sets sail for the Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse as the two teams face off for the second time in four days.
