OSWEGO, NY — Men’s Basketball rolled through the New Paltz Hawks Tuesday night as the Lakers won 80-55. Oswego took a commanding lead in the first half as the team scored 54 points compared to the Hawk’s 25. This is thanks to senior Joe Sullivan dropping 20 points due to seven field goals and two three pointers in his twenty two minutes played. Colby Moultrie stepped into the game and secured 12 points in only nine minutes played after netting four three pointers. This is Oswego’s 15th win of the season and ninth conference win to keep the Lakers in fourth place in the SUNYAC standings. The team looks ahead as they travel with Women’s Basketball to Cortland on Saturday for a 4 p.m. tip off.

Oswego Men’s Lacrosse: Season Debut Delayed
OSWEGO, NY — The Oswego State Men’s Lacrosse Team hasn’t played a game since March 10th of last year. Unfortunately, the Lakers will have to wait a bit longer to play their first game of the 2021 season. Oswego was originally scheduled to begin their season at home vs. SUNY Morrisville on March 17th, but due to a positive coronavirus case on the opposing team, the game was cancelled. Oswego was then scheduled to play SUNY Oneonta on March 20th, however the game was postponed earlier on Friday due to a positive case on the Lakers team.
This is now the second time in one week the Lakers will have their game either postponed or cancelled. The next scheduled game for Oswego is March 26th vs Geneseo. This was unfortunate for the Lakers as the game vs. Geneseo is the first of six scheduled SUNYAC games, meaning Oswego will have played zero games before conference play begins. If this happens, Oswego will be the only team in their division to not play a game before conference play starts. The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse Team last played Geneseo on April 20th, 2019, in a 13-14 home loss.

OSWEGO, NY — Men’s Hockey defeated their rivals Plattsburgh Tuesday evening in the Marano Campus Center 4-1 and will move on to the finals of the SUNYAC tournament. The Lakers got on the board in the first period thanks to sophomore Travis Broughman who tallied a goal in the first and second period to give Oswego a large lead. Joey Scorpio would get on the board towards the middle of the period as the senior buried a puck off a pass from Derek Brown. Captain Josh Zizek would net the fourth and final Laker goal in the final five minutes of the second period to give the Lakers a commanding lead heading into the final period. Plattsburgh would get one past netminder Steven Kozikoski on the powerplay, but the sophomore would record his first collegiate win in a Laker uniform. Kozikoski would save 21 shots and post a .955 save percentage in the victory.
Oswego will now look ahead to Geneseo in the SUNYAC finals as the Lakers will look to get a rematch of last year’s finals that occurred in the same spot. The Ice Knights are coming off a 7-0 win against the Potsdam Bears in the semi-finals round of the tournament. The Lakers last played Geneseo in the Marano Campus Center when the visitors took a 5-3 win and secured the number one spot in the standings.

Oswego State women’s basketball falls short heading into holiday break
OSWEGO N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s basketball team Saturday suffered an unfortunate 59-48 loss to the Fredonia Blue Devils. The Lakers stayed in it until the very end where Fredonia went on a nine point run to end the game, ultimately giving the Blue Devils the victory.

Freshman Shania Iglesias was the lead scorer for the Lakers dropping an impressive seventeen points with two three pointers and nine rebounds. Right behind Iglesias was senior Danielle Caivana with twelve points. Despite this tough loss, the Lakers have to find a way to start clicking and picking up some wins.
