Discipline continued to haunt both clubs all night, with only Oswego being guilty of receiving cards. Felix Freed, Cole Mueller, Morgan Burke, and Kieran Husselbeck were each given yellow cards throughout the match.
These yellow cards for the Lakers matched their season high from last season, where they were given four of them in their first game of the SUNYAC tournament against Cortland, where their season came to an end.
The Lakers will continue to seek their first victory of their 2025 season Tuesday night at Laker Turf where they’ll host Hamilton, while Clarkson will do the same when they face St. John Fisher Sunday afternoon.

Oswego State Men’s Lacrosse Ends 2021 Season Winless
CORTLAND, N.Y. — The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse team lost their final game of the season on Friday falling to the Cortland Red Dragons 16-5. This is the Lakers second loss to the Red Dragons in 2021 and their seventh loss of the season. This contest wraps up the 2021 season for the Lakers, the first year that the program will go winless. With the win, Cortland will take the number one seed in the west division after finishing the season with a 5-1 conference record.
Cortland was dominant from the opening faceoff, scoring the first 6 goals of the game, including four first quarter goals by attackman, Dante Yacovone. Oswego freshman midfielder, Lucas Cioch, got the Lakers on the board following a second quarter goal, however, they were unable to keep pace with Cortland’s explosive offense. Three other Lakers scored in Friday’s contest, including Ryan Dumont (2), Ryan Eccles (1), and Tyler Stevenson (1). Senior goalkeeper, Kevin O’Donnell, ended his collegiate career on a high note, totaling a career high 27 saves, bringing his season total to 125. With this loss, Oswego drops to 0-7 on the season and finishes last place in the SUNYAC West division.
It was an unfortunate season for the Oswego Men’s Lacrosse team to say the least. The first two games of the season were cancelled due to Covid regulations, so the Lakers weren’t able to get off to a hot start. Junior attackman, Weston Gray, lead the team in goals with 9 and added 4 assists in 2021. Oswego went into a reduced season with an extremely young roster and while they may not have won, they will continue to develop their talented players to compete in the future.

Just nine minutes later Ryan Dickinson grabbed the puck in the neutral zone passed it up to Shane Bull.

Oswego led 15-11 in shots after the first period. The second period started with the Laker’s killing off a penalty that was left over from the first stanza. Both squads played good defense throughout the middle period and no goals were scored. The best play of the frame came from Oswego captain Travis Broughman had a diving poke check to tip the puck away from a Cortland player who was one-on-one with the goalie. Oswego led in shots in the second period 16-7. The third period started with the Lakers third goal, Tommy Cahill took a pass in the slot and fired it through a screen just two minutes in. Durante had a few good saves throughout the final frame including a tough save on a wide open shot from Alex DiCarlo on a drop pass from Broughman. Cortland would pull Durante with four to play to try and fight back. With two left in the game, Cahill caused a turnover and passed it into the neutral zone for Shane Bull. Bull swung it up to Tyler Flack who buried it into the empty net and officially close the game for the Lakers. Connor Sleeth led the Lakers in shots on goal with eight. Cahill, Bull, and Dickinson all had two points in the game.
