OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team fell short on Sunday in a very close battle against the Utica College Pioneers. This game was the definition of fight to the finish as both teams were hungry for a victory and the final score was 3-2 in favor of the Pioneers. Just 6 minutes into the game freshman Mack Hull was able to strike first for the Lakers giving them a one goal lead. The Watertown native has proved to be an integral part of this team especially on offense. Hull had another opportunity to score late in the second but fell short. Entering the third it was anyone’s game as Utica led two to one. Sophomore Kyleigh Grugin was able to strike in the third tying things up for the Lakers. With just two minutes left on the clock, a deflected puck led to a breakaway opportunity that sealed the 3-2 victory for the Pioneers. This was undoubtedly a fight until the very end and a loss that the Lakers surely won’t forget about anytime soon. The Lakers are set to take on the Plattsburgh State Cardinals this Friday in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena. Puck drops at 3:00 p.m. on WTOP10!
