OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team heads into this week after a disappointing trip to the North Country to take on conference rival Plattsburgh State. The Lakers fell in both games over the weekend and enter the week with an overall record of 8-6-1. In the NEWHL conference, Oswego State holds the third spot behind Plattsburgh State and SUNY Cortland with a total of 11 points. The conference record of 5-4-1 is only two points better than SUNY Canton who is in the last spot in the playoffs if the post season started right now.
The Lakers will have this coming weekend off but first will travel to Geneva, New York to face off against the Williams Smith Herons. Recently, the Lakers lost forward Megan Teachout to the transfer portal. Teachout was able to produce on the offensive side of the puck but Oswego State was able to fill the hole in their offense this past weekend. Oswego State has already played Williams Smith this season back in November prior to Thanksgiving Break. The Lakers took that game by a score line of 1-0 as Ariella Haas netted the lone goal which was assisted by Chyne Kennedy and Emily Gustafson. Netminder Joanna Hiebert got the win in between the pipes for the Lakers with a total of 15 saves and the shutout. Against the Herons, the Lakers are 4-2-1 all time against the program hailing from Geneva. Oswego State lost 1-3 last time the group traveled for a road game against the opponent.
The Lakers will look to get back into the win column tomorrow afternoon as puck drop is set for 8:00 p.m. in Geneva. WTOP 10 will continue to to provide coverage of the Oswego State women’s hockey team as the squad continues their 2021-22 season.
