Lakers Sweep First Day of Tourney

The Oswego State volleyball team performed a clean sweep of its opponents at Max Ziel Gymnasium on Friday night.

In their opening game, the Lakers dominated the Hilbert Hawks in every major statistical category. They would go on to win three sets to none by scores of 25-5, 25-10 and 25-12. Laura Finn starred for Oswego State, finishing with eleven digs, seven kills and two aces while Julia Flohr contributed 28 assists.

Against SUNY Canton, Oswego State won by narrower margins, 25-18, 25-20 and 26-24. Alison Sullivan was a force to be reckoned with on both the offensive and defensive ends for the Lakers as she had eight kills and a team-leading seven blocks. Also contributing was Shauna O’Flaherty with 17 digs and two aces.

Oswego, now 4-6 on the year, will face Utica College at 11 a.m tomorrow followed by Elmira College at 1 p.m.

 

Lakers Earn First Win Against Elmira

The Oswego State field hockey team gave Heather Moore her first win as the head coach after defeating Elmira College by a score of 5-4.

Playing on their home turf, the Lakers were the first to get on the board, courtesy of a goal by Jordan Sheehy. After the Soaring Eagles tied it up just over ten minutes later, Monica Harvey scored her first goal for Oswego. Elmira would score again to send the game into a 2-2 tie at the half.

In the second half, Elmira scored quickly to give themselves a one point lead. That would not remain for long though as Harvey connected with Katie Reynolds to even the game. Harvey finished the night with a career-best seven points including two goals and three assists. Her last point came in the 63rd minute on what turned out to be the game-winning goal by Kendra Walker.

Lakers goalie Sarita Charap stopped 22 shots in the full 70 minutes with her defense also stopping three shots. Julie Hockenberger finished with five saves for the Soaring Eagles.

Oswego, now 1-2, will look to continue their winning ways on the road against Wells College on Saturday.
