Oswego State women’s hockey wins in dominant fashion

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

OSWEGO N.Y. — A good ole fashion blowout. That’s what this game could be named. The Oswego State women’s hockey team faced off against the Buffalo State Bengals Wednesday night and held them scoreless. This dominant victory showcased just how impressive this Lakers team is. The Lakers now move to 12-7-1 on the season, and 9-4-1 in the SUNYAC Conference. This impressive five score victory was just what the Lakers needed to build more momentum moving forward. Some key contributors in this contest were freshman Ashlyn McGrath who led the Lakers with two goals on the night, as well as one assist. The freshman has proved this season that she’s here to stay and will be an integral part of this Lakers team for years to come. Sophomore Rachel Corbett also had an impressive performance with one goal and one assist. Sophomore Mia Conboy had a goal as well and was impressive throughout the contest. If this Lakers team continues to dominate, they will be very hard to stop in the coming weeks as the season heats up. The Lakers are set to have their senior night this Friday in the Deb Stan Arena.

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team defeated SUNY Canton in back-to-back games last weekend, winning 5-0 on Friday and 4-0 on Saturday. With these pair of victories, the Lakers improve to 11-7-1 on the season and 8-4-1 in NEWHL play.

Saturday’s game was on the road where the Lakers took command early on. After putting up seven shots-on-goal to start the game, freshman Lizzie Burke got Oswego on the board at the 8:29 mark of the opening stanza. Just six minutes later, the Canton received a powerplay opportunity following a Laker tripping penalty. However, Oswego scored a short-handed goal with 28 seconds left in the first period. Captain Philomena Teggart and junior Ariella Haas assisted Simone Bednarik on the score. Early on into the second period, Morgan Shines put the Lakers up 3-0 off an assist by Kyleigh Grugin and Avery Webster. Oswego continued their dominant offensive performance as they found the net once again just 46 seconds later, this time being a goal from Taylor Hudon. After some back-and-forth runs by each team in the final period, the Lakers scored their fifth and final goal of the night courtesy of Ashlyn McGrath. Oswego out-shot Canton 33-14 in Saturday’s contest with sophomore goalkeeper Joanna Hiebert going perfect on the night, saving all 14 Kangaroo shots.

The Lakers and Kangaroos met once again just one day later, this time being in the Deborah F. Stanley arena. Much like their previous matchup, Oswego started Sunday’s game off hot from the opening puck-drop. Junior Emily Gustafson netted her first goal of the season just 5:50 into the first period to put the Lakers up by one. Towards the end of the first frame, freshman Mack Hull made it a 2-0 game when she found the back of the net. Both teams went scoreless throughout much of the second period until Sophia Kyrkostas netted a powerplay goal with three minutes remaining. Midway through the final stanza, Lizzie Burke added an insurance goal to give the Lakers a 4-0 lead. Oswego improved in the shots column from the first matchup, this time outshooting the ‘Roos 45-18. Joanna Hiebert was outstanding in goal once again, racking up 18 saves and recording her fourth shutout of the season.

After an impressive weekend which saw junior Morgan Shines win the Oswego State athlete of the week honor, the women’s hockey team is now tied for 2nd place in the NEWHL with SUNY Cortland. Oswego will look to carry this momentum into Tuesday’s match against Buffalo State before competing in a rubber-match verses SUNY Canton on Friday. Puck-drop is set for 7:00 p.m. at Buffalo State on Tuesday.

Oswego State men’s hockey splits weekend

By Zac Case — 4 years ago

OSWEGO N.Y. — The Oswego State men’s hockey team split this past weekend in SUNYAC conference play after competing against SUNY Brockport and SUNY Geneseo. The Lakers were able to get the job done on Friday with a win on home ice against the Brockport Golden Eagles. On Saturday, Oswego State traveled to Geneseo and fell after trying to complete the comeback in the third period.

Friday evening, Oswego State welcomed the Golden Eagles of SUNY Brockport into the Marano Campus Center for Senior Night and Pride Night. The Lakers would get the job done against Brockport posting a victory by a score of 7-3 in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena. Oswego State got out to an early lead in the first period with a quick goal from forward Alex DiCarlo. The Golden Eagles would respond with their own two goals to take the lead. Tyler Flack would answer for the Lakers and tie the game with an assist going to sophomore Shane Bull. Goals from Mac Lewis and Tommy Cahill finished the scoring for the Lakers in the first period. The Golden Eagles would net one more before heading into the locker room to round out the first stanza.

Over the course of the next forty minutes, the Golden Eagles would not be able to find the back of the net after a solid performance from the Oswego State defense. Cahill and Flack found the back of the net one more time prior to the end of the contest and defenseman Troy Robillard also found the twine before the completion of the game. In between the pipes for Oswego State, netminder Steven Kozikoski received the win after making a total of 24 saves and only allowing three goals against.

On Saturday, Oswego State loaded up the bus and headed down Interstate 90 to SUNY Geneseo’s campus to play against the number two team in the nation per the USCHO poll. The Lakers would fall in the contest by a score of 4-2 but played a better game against the Ice Knights compared to the contest against Geneseo back in November. Geneseo would score four unanswered goals in the first and second periods to take a commanding lead on home ice. Rocco Andreacchi found the back of the net first for Oswego State and Cahill had another goal on the weekend in the third period. Kozikoski made a total of 34 saves in the lost.

Although the Lakers split the weekend against the Rochester teams, Oswego State moved up in this week’s USCHO poll. In terms of the Pairwise rankings, the Lakers are in tenth and have a good shot at an at-large bid if necessary. In the conference standings, the Lakers are tied with Geneseo for the top spot but Geneseo has a game at hand. Oswego State has three more games left in the regular season before the SUNYAC Championship starts. This Wednesday, Oswego State will travel to Morrisville State to take on the Mustangs for a weekday SUNYAC matchup. Morrisville is currently last in the conference with a total of six points. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. on Morrisville’s campus. WTOP 10 will continue to provide coverage of the Oswego State men’s hockey team prior to the conclusion of their 2021-22 season.

By Brian Burrows — 4 years ago

Oswego women’s basketball suffers two losses despite impressive performances

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

OSWEGO N.Y. — It was a rough weekend for the Oswego State women’s basketball team as they were unable to find success in their two games played. The Lakers took on Potsdam in a SUNYAC matchup Friday night as they were looking to get back in the win column. The Lakers started off strong taking the early lead after the first quarter. Senior Danielle Caivana was on fire the whole game, dropping twenty-one points, nine from the three point line. She was pure money as she did everything she could to help her team and try to come out with the win. After the first quarter things got a little rocky for the Lakers as they lost their lead and couldn’t bounce back to come out with the win. Potsdam was firing on all cylinders despite the Lakers putting up a fight. Oswego State looked to put this fourteen point loss behind them as they hosted SUNY Plattsburgh in an important matchup the following day.

The Lakers had another SUNYAC matchup Saturday night against Plattsburgh. This game was a fight to the finish with both teams fighting desperately to come out on top. The Lakers were up by one at the end of the first. With a combination of lockdown defense and a good offensive performance, the Lakers were here to win. Yet again, Danielle Caivana had a stellar performance dropping a whopping twenty-two points this game to out do her performance from Friday. Caivana has had an incredible senior year and continues to prove how she is a crucial part of Oswego’s offense. Additionally, freshman Shania Iglesias had a great performance with nine points. At the end of the half Plattsburgh was able to take the lead, going up by four. The Lakers were not out of this game as they outscored Plattsburgh in the third, making it a three point game. Despite a valiant effort to come out with the victory, the Lakers ultimately came out on the losing end. The final score was sixty to fifty three. The Lakers go on the road to take on Buffalo State Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.!

Oswego State men’s hockey extends win streak to six games following weekend doubleheader

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

Oswego, N.Y.  — The Oswego State men’s hockey team improved to 14-4-1 this past weekend, defeating SUNY Cortland 5-3 on Friday and Fredonia 3-2 on Saturday. With these pair of victories, the Lakers have extended their win streak to six games and are nationally ranked for the first time this season, being named the #13 team in the most recent USCHO poll.

On Friday, the Lakers faced a familiar foe in the Cortland Red Dragons. Following an Oswego powerplay early in the first period, the Red Dragons scored their first goal to take the lead. Soon after, captain Travis Broughman scored his first goal of the evening to tie things up at one apiece. After some back-and-forth action between both teams to begin the second period, Cortland broke the tie once again at the 15:22 mark. It wouldn’t take long for the Lakers to tie things up as just two minutes later, Tommy Cahill found the back of the net, bringing the score to 2-2. Oswego would take their first lead of the evening with 10:22 left in the second period. Garrett Clegg found the twine off an assist by Mac Lewis, his second assist of the game. Though, Cortland would knot things up again just four minutes later. With the game tied 3-3 heading into the final period, the Lakers needed someone to step up to break the stalemate. Broughman, as he has done throughout much of his career at Oswego, was the guy to break things open. With 12:44 left in regulation, the team captain scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal, assisted by Alex DiCarlo and Quinn Warmuth. The Lakers defense was impenetrable through the final stretch. The Red Dragons pulled their goalie with 46 second left on the clock and with an empty net, Broughman was able to secure the hat trick, notching in his third goal of the contest.

On Saturday, the Lakers started the game off hot from the opening puck drop, scoring just 30 seconds into the first period off an Alex DiCarlo goal. Although each team continued to fire shots on net, the score remained 1-0 throughout the rest of the period. After some back-and-forth attempts in the second period, sophomore Tyler Flack opened things up for the Lakers at the 13:26 mark, using a screen to beat the Fredonia goalie for his fourth goal of the season. With seven minutes left in the period, captain Travis Broughman intercepted a Blue Devil turnover and found the back of the net to bring the score to 3-0. However, the Blue Devils responded with a goal of their own less than a minute later, using a two-on-one to beat Steven Kozikoski. To end the period, Oswego took a five-minute major for contact to the head of a Fredonia player.

The Lakers, like they’ve done all night, were able to kill the penalty efficiently. Fredonia was held to 0-3 on power plays. With 9:45 remaining in the third period, the Blue Devils scored off a clear that snuck past a Laker defenseman, bringing the deficit to just one goal. Though, a mighty defensive performance by the Lakers would hold Fredonia scoreless through the rest of regulation. With less than a minute left in the period, Oswego had a chance to score a fourth goal. However, an incredible sliding block by the Fredonia defenseman kept the game 3-2.

Travis Broughman lead the team in points with two (1 goal, 1 assist), while Steven Kozikoski continued his hot-streak as he totaled 24 saves. The Oswego State men’s hockey team will look to carry this momentum into their Senior Night and Pride Night game against SUNY Brockport. Puck drop is set for Friday at 7:00 p.m. in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena. Coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. on WTOP 10!

Oswego State women’s hockey comes up short against Plattsburgh this weekend

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — It was a rough weekend for the Lakers as they suffered two unfortunate losses, one being a NEWHL game. The Lakers went on the road to take on Plattsburgh State in their first meeting of the weekend. They were hungry for victory and proved it when they went up 3-0 in the first period. Just nine minutes into the contest senior Chyne Kennedy put the lakers on the board with an assist from Mia Conboy. Sophomore Rachel Corbett added to the lakers lead with eight minutes left in the first. Just before the first period came to an end, Sophomore Sophia Kyrkostas scored with assists from Simone Bednarik and Ariella Haas capping off a dominant first period. It was all downhill after the first as the Lakers lost the momentum they had built up, eventually letting up six goals by the end of the contest to conclude Plattsburgh’s three point victory.

The Lakers went back to work against Plattsburgh State the following day in hopes of getting some revenge after their heartbreaking loss. During the first period it was neck to neck with freshman Ashlyn McGrath putting the Lakers on the board just two minutes into the contest. With six minutes into the first Plattsburgh tied the game up. From there the momentum was in their favor and the Cardinals went on to score two more goals in the second. Down two goals the Lakers tried to make some magic happen and pull off a comeback, unfortunately they couldn’t get anything cooking and ultimately lost 4-1. The Lakers look to bounce back after these two losses when they go on the road to play William Smith College this Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. in Geneva.

Oswego Women’s Hockey splits in weekend homestand

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team split in back-to-back home games this weekend, falling to Plattsburgh State 5-2 on Friday before avenging their loss with a victory over SUNY Cortland 2-1 the following night.

It’s been an interesting start to the new year for the women’s hockey team. After their first two games of 2022 were cancelled, the Lakers dropped their first game of the year last week against Utica College. Looking to get one in the win column, the Lakers went into their game against Plattsburgh hungry for a victory. The Cardinal started the game off hot, scoring the first two goals of the contest opening period. Going into the second period, it took just 54 for sophomore forward Morgan Shines to get the Lakers on the board. Plattsburgh lead 2-1 heading into the third period. With 15:23 remaining in the game, Amanda Zenstein took a shot on net during a Lakers power play. Sophomore Kyleigh Grugin was able to rebound and snuck the puck into the goal, tying the game a 2 apiece. Though, following this momentum shift, Plattsburgh would go on to score three unanswered goals to end the period. This was the Lakers second loss to the #2 ranked Cardinal this season as they fell to them in a 5-0 contest on Nov. 13.

Heading into Saturday’s game versus SUNY Cortland, the Lakers were in need of a win to keep pace in the competitive NEWHL. Despite the first period be scoreless, the Lakers had a dominant 11-3 edge in shots-on-goal. Just 4:47 into the second period, Cortland stuck first with a goal, taking a 1-0 lead. A few minutes later, the Lakers took advantage of a three-on-one fast break and scored off a Morgan Shines tip-in goal. Throughout the rest of the second period, the Lakers found themselves in penalty trouble. Twice they were two-women down, but were able to kill the penalty efficiently. The game remained knotted up until senior captain Philomena Teggart scored the go-ahead goal with 2:30 left on the clock. This was Teggart’s first goal of the season and she couldn’t have picked a more opportune time to score it. Joanna Hiebert finished the game with 19 saves while Kyleigh Grugin and Ariella Haas each totaled an assist.

The Oswego State women’s hockey team now sits at 7-4-1 on the season and 4-3-1 in NEWHL play. Following this win, the Lakers will look to carry their momentum into Tuesday’s contest against Morrisville State College. Puck drop is set for 2:00 p.m. at Morrisville.
