Non-Conference Battles Continue for Lakers

The Oswego State men’s and women’s ice hockey teams continue with the non-conference portions of their schedules this weekend, playing two games apiece.

The women’s team travels to Vermont for the Doubletree Ice Hockey Classic, hosted by Saint Michael’s College. Seeing their first action of 2015, Oswego’s women ride in on a 5 game win streak stretching back to November 21st. Sophomore Brianna Rice and a trio of dynamic freshmen, Olivia Ellis, Andrea Noss, and Rachel Lenard will lead the offense for Oswego, who face a Plymouth State team that gives up more than four and a half goals per game. The Lakers will face the Panthers Friday at 4 pm, and the host Purple Knights at 4 pm on Saturday. Both games are only available through Live Stats. WTOP Sports will also be updating Twitter throughout the games.

The men’s team is home for a rare Friday/Sunday pair of games, first hosting Hobart of the ECAC West, and then lining up against Southern New Hampshire University. The Hobart Statesmen present potentially the biggest upset threat for Lakers in their non-conference schedule, coming in with an 8-4 record and big wins against Brockport and Utica, who both drew against the Lakers earlier in the season. On Sunday afternoon the SNHU Penmen come to town. Sitting at 5-7 overall SNHU has dropped three contests against SUNYAC opponents, most recently a 7-1 decision to Fredonia on Tuesday, January 6th. They will face Morrisville before coming to the Marano Campus Center. WTOP will have full Hockey Night In Oswego coverage of the men’s games, with pregame starting 15 minutes before puckdrop. Friday is scheduled for a 7 pm start, Sunday is 2 pm. An online stream is located here.

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
