The Oswego State Women’s Lacrosse team spring season has finally begun. After SUNY Oswego President Deborah Stanley announced the season would be occurring, Coach Brittany Howard began preparing her athletes to compete at the college level.
Howard’s focus this season is building the teams culture. She emphasizes the importance to working and playing as a team in order to bring home wins this season. Sela Wiley, captain of the team, is an incredible asset to helping the team achieve their goals. The sophomore midfielder from Cheshire, Connecticut scored 10 goals in only 4 games last year. Kamryn Sherman, attacker for the women’s lacrosse team, is also hoping to have a successful final season. The senior from Buchanan, NY has scored a total of 40 goals over 37 games played in the last three years.
Of course, like most things, sports at Oswego State are going to look a little different this season. The women’s lacrosse team is following all Covid-19 related guidelines to ensure they are staying safe throughout the season. The team is following social distancing rules, wearing masks whenever necessary, and getting Covid tested weekly before traveling to away games.
The Oswego State women’s lacrosse team won their first game against Morrisville State. The Lakers were led by sophomore Sela Wiley’s eight points. The team takes the field again on April 3rd at 1 p.m. for their first home game against Fredonia State University. Viewers can check out all the action on WTOP 10.
