OSWEGO, N.Y. – It was a tough loss for the Lakers Men’s soccer team last night as they fell to the 9-2-2 Oneonta Red Dragons in a close battle. The Lakers have been struggling to gain traction this season despite the array of talent the team possesses. This tightly contested battle was scoreless at the end of the first half with both teams hungry to get on the board. At the 47 minute mark Oneonta would get on the board thanks to a shot by Ethan Brunell. Just over a minute later Kieran Gilroy who leads the Lakers in scoring, added another goal to his resume capitalizing on a corner kick to even the score. Oneonta would bounce right back scoring the game winning goal 60 minutes into the contest. The Lakers put up a valiant effort to bounce back but could not get back on the board. The Lakers look to bounce back as they are in action against New Paltz home at Laker Turf Stadium on October 22nd. The game will honor the Lakers seniors. Catch it Live on WTOP10!
