Reynolds looks to lead the charge

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State Field Hockey team has had a rough week of conference play, dropping conference games to Cortland on Tuesday and to Geneseo on Saturday. The Lakers are looking to turn it around with the help of senior forward Katie Reynolds who has been the team leader in goals scored this season.

Despite starting (1-2) in conference play, the Lakers have found an offensive spark thanks to Katie Reynolds who was recently named an Oswego State Athlete of the Week. She was awarded this based on her performances the week of Sept. 24. scoring a total of six goals in just two games. Reynolds scored two of the Lakers three goals in their (6-3) loss to Nazareth and a career-high of four goals in the win against Brockport. 

“I mean when all four of those goals were scrambled in front of the cage, that is my time to shine,” said Reynolds. “If there is a scramble in front of the cage, I am going to do whatever it takes to get that ball in the back. But I could not have done it without the help of my midfield. The midfield did an awesome job taking the ball down and feeding it right to me.”

Reynolds finds herself having a very important position on the team being one of four seniors in comparison to the to the team’s twelve freshmen.

“It’s definitely a challenge because they overpower us,” Reynolds said. “There are twelve freshmen and there are only four seniors. “Having a strong leadership voice on the team is very important for us right now with such a young team.”
