Oswego State’s women’s ice hockey team began their season with a 4-3 overtime exhibition loss against the Toronto Midget Aeros on Saturday. The Lakers’ first regular season action will come on Friday when they face New England College in the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena.

During the first period, there was not much action between these two teams until Toronto’s Claudia Yu got the Midget Aeros on the board. Oswego would have an answer though, as they stormed back with two goals in the following period. At the center of those two scores was Jean-marie Padden who had a goal and an assist. That would not be all from her as she tallied another assist in the third period. The normal three periods would not be enough for this game though as it went into overtime, largely because of Toronto’s ability to capitalize on the power play. However, there would not be much extra hockey as the Midget Aeros were able to score the game winner just 57 seconds in. During power play opportunities, Toronto went 2-for-3 while the Lakers scored on one of four of their opportunities.

During the contest, Oswego gave all three of their goalies some playing time as Mariah Madrigal and Mikaela DiTonto notched nine saves while Amber Samonek tallied eight.

Three people were charged following the discovery of a meth lab on the city’s east side Wednesday morning. Oswego Police responded to 196 Syracuse Ave. following information that there was a meth lab operating inside. Upon arriving at the house, police found evidence that a laboratory was located in the front apartment.

The Oswego Fire Department was called in to decontaminate the two men believed to be operating the lab, as well as a third female resident. The fire department stayed on scene throughout the day in case of an explosion or fire.

Syracuse Ave. was closed to traffic between South Division St. and Lawrence St. and the New York State Police Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team was called in to continue the investigation alongside the OPD.

Oswego Police said that a search warrant was obtained through the Oswego City Court. The search turned up several one pot methamphetamine labs, also known as “shake-and-bake” labs. In addition, 10 ounces of methamphetamine oil were found.

Syracuse Ave. was reopened around 4:30 in the afternoon, more than seven hours after police initially responded.

Arrested in the investigation were Frederick Carvey III, 37 and Zechariah Morrison, 32. Both were charged with 2nd degree Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance and 3rd degree Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine. They are being held until their arraignment.

Also charged was Brittaney Perkins, 23, for Endangering the Welfare of a Child. She was released on an appearance ticket
