Game Recap: Oswego Hockey falls to Baldwinsville
OSWEGO, NY — Monday evening, the Oswego Boys Buccaneers Hockey team welcomed the Baldwinsville Bees into the Crisafulli Ice Rink for a Section III Hockey matchup. The Bees were on a mission to snap a two-game losing streak while Oswego looked to start a four-game series off on a high note. Senior goaltender Brayden Demling would once again start in net for Oswego but would not last that long as freshman forward Sam Ciappa would net his first goal of the game. The Bee would later tally two more for a hat trick in his first season with the team. But, that would come after Demling was replaced by backup netminder Mason Kurilovitch. This would be the first time the goaltender has seen action in the first period, and would later give up three goals during his time in between the posts. Marcus Baker would score the first Buccaneer goal before the end of the first stanza to make it a 3-1 hockey game.
Lukas Cady was able to tally his third goal of the season on the powerplay in the first part of the second period. However, Baldwinsville would not look back. The Bees would add two more in the period and cap off the game with an additional tally in the third period. Sophomore netminder Jon Schirmer would allow two goals in the contest and get his second win of the season in net for the Bees.
Oswego now sets sail for the Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse as the two teams face off for the second time in four days. The familiar foes will drop the puck at 8:30 p.m. at the Coliseum located at the New York State Fairgrounds. On Saturday, the Brothers defeated the Bucs 6-2 at the Fort Ontario. WTOP 10 will continue to bring Oswego Buccaneers fans coverage of the 2021 season for the Oswego Boys Buccaneers Hockey team.

Oswego State women’s hockey narrowly edges past William Smith 1-0
OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team narrowly defeated the William Smith Herons on Tuesday 1-0. With this victory, the Lakers improve to 5-2-1 this season and enter their Thanksgiving break on a two-game win streak.
Oswego and William Smith played and extremely physical game from buzzer-to-buzzer. Early on, Oswego found themselves in penalty trouble but were able to efficiently kill the clock. For much of the first period, the Lakers offensive zone pressure smothered the Herons, allowing only three shots in the opening 20 minutes. As the game started to heat up, Oswego found themselves in a 5-on-4 situation in the second period, but were unable to capitalize on the powerplay. However five minutes into the third period, junior forward Ariella Haas scored the game’s lone goal off assists from both Chyne Kennedy and Emily Gustafson.
Oswego continued their dominance in the faceoff circle again on Tuesday, winning 29-17. Haas les the Lakers in faceoff wins (10-5), followed by Morgan Shines (8-4) and Sara Cruise (6-2). Starting goalkeeper Joanna Hiebert also continued her hot streak in this matchup, recording her second consecutive shutout and third of the season.
The Lakers are now 5-2-1 on the season and sit third place in the NEWHL standings. Following Thanksgiving break, Oswego will have a prime opportunity to move up in the standings as they travel to Cortland to take on the Red Dragons, who sit second in the NEWHL. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 3.
