GENESEO, N.Y. — The Oswego State Women’s Lacrosse team lost their first game of the 2021 season on Monday, falling to the Geneseo Knights in a 22-9 defeat. This is the Lakers first SUNYAC loss after previously going 2-0 against SUNY Fredonia and Buffalo State in the west division. The nationally ranked Geneseo team was able to hold the Lakers offense which came out hot to start the 2021 season.
Geneseo came out of the gates firing, scoring six unanswered goals just seven minutes into the game, including three goals from senior attack, Hannah Marafioti. Lakers leading scorer, Sela Wiley, ended the Knights scoring run with a goal of her own. The Lakers faced a 5-goal deficit early in the first half, things weren’t looking great for the Lakers. Unfortunately, Oswego State wasn’t able to keep up with Geneseo’s high-powered offense for much of the game. The Knights went on three separate 6-goal scoring runs throughout the contest, effectively preventing any chance of a Laker comeback. Geneseo had three players score at least 4 goals, including Tessa Doody (4), Jacqui Thorsen (4), and Hannah Marafioti (6). Oswego was lead by Logan Castiglione, Kamryn Sherman, and Sela Wiley, who each scored two goals respectively. Oswego now falls to 2-1 in conference play, which currently places them third in their division. Oswego will have the opportunity to rebound in a out-of-conference matchup vs Clarkson University on April 14th at Laker Turf Stadium. WTOP 10 will be live at the field with all the action.
