Lakers Dominate Blue Devils

By Logan Stolberg — 3 years ago

OSWEGO, NY- The Lakers continued their dominant offensive performance from their last game as they defeated the Fredonia Blue Devils 19-2.

The Lakers got off to a hot start in the first quarter as they scored two goals with less than a minute into the game as Isabella Lembo and Shae McConnell would get the Lakers on the board. The Blue Devils would then score their first goal of the game as Erin Woods would make it a 2-1 game. The first quarter would feature the Shea McConnell show as she scored four goals in the first quarter. The second quarter was a defensive battle between both teams until Shea McConnell scored with 42 seconds left to put the Lakers up 9-1 at half. Shea McConnell would lead the Lakers with five points in the half. Isabella Lembo would be second with two goals in the first half.

The Lakers were more explosive in the second half as they started out the second half with a bang scoring just 29 seconds into the quarter as Kate McNally would score her first goal of the game. A minute later, Julia Quirk would score her first goal of the game for the Lakers as . Sydney Buchko would score the second and final goal of the game for the Blue Devils. Isabella Lembo would add her third of the game to make it 13-2 Oswego with 8:58 remaining in the third quarter. Lembo would add her fourth goal of the game with :50 seconds left in the third. The Lakers led 15-2 heading into the fourth quarter. Sela Wiley would add two more goals for the Lakers along with Shea McConnell who would add her sixth goal of the game. Isabella Lembo scored her fifth goal of the game as she had her best game of the season and her career as she had ten points which included five goals and five assists. The Lakers would score their third most points in a game this season with 19.

The Lakers face off against their toughest opponent in the SUNYAC this season so far as they travel to take on the Suny Geneseo Knights. Geneseo is coming off a dominating performance against the Buffalo State Bengals winning 15-2. Megan Cook led the Knights with five points with four goals and one assist. The Lakers have struggled against Geneseo in their program’s history going 2-9 against them all-time with their last win coming in the 2018 season. Last season, the Lakers lost 17-6 to Geneseo. The Knights finished last season losing to Middlebury 22-6 in the second round of the NCAA D3 Women’s Lax Tournament. Middlebury would go on to win the NCAA D3 Women’s Lax Title last season. Geneseo travels up north to take on Clarkson on March 31st at 4:00. A win for the Lakers would be a huge statement for not only the Lakers but for the rest of the SUNYAC.

Golden Eagles Hand Lakers First Loss of the Season

By Logan Stolberg — 3 years ago

OSWEGO, NY- The Lakers played a tough-fought game against the Brockport Golden Eagles but unfortunately fell short 75-60. The first quarter was a defensive battle where the Lakers were able to force missed shots from the Golden Eagles. The Lakers also missed plenty of layups and shots during the first quarter as well. Karleigh Leo would lead the Lakers in points after one quarter with five points. The score was tied at 12 at the end of the first quarter.

The Lakers finally were able to get into a rhythm in the second quarter.

The new oz spots that contain different tables that are 6 feet apart

The New Way To Meet With Fellow Students: Oz Spots

By Scott Brubaker — 5 years ago

With the spread of the Coronavirus now under control on campus, SUNY Oswego has opened up 16 Oz-Spots for students to use for their convenience.

SUNY Oswego’s Chief Communication Officer Wayne Westervelt describes the purpose of Oz-Spots. “As we move from the nice weather at the beginning of the semester, although it’s beautiful today, to the end of fall weather, our desire was to create something that we had created with the outdoor tents, indoors for our students.”

The Oz-Spots were created so students could study, eat, or meet with their peers in a safe and clean environment.

There are curtains sectioning off the Oz-Spots from the rest of the building, and desks and tables are socially distanced. However, these spaces are not to be used by student organizations to hold meetings.

Westervelt stated, “We wanted to really make sure this is not seen as an opportunity to socially gather.”

There are many COVID preventative measures put in place at these Oz-Spots including a limit to 6 kids at a time, a 90-minute time period, sanitizer to be used before and after, and the requirement of masks.

Westervelt hopes these spots will be up and running for the rest of the semester, and even into the spring. The availability of these spots all depends on local and state health guidelines and the state of COVID cases on campus.

Westervelt added, “A lot of the credit for even just having Oz-Spots is a result of the hard work our students have exhibited over the entire semester.”

“We really want to open up opportunities for our students because they’ve done so well.” said Wayne Westervelt

The Oz-Spots are open Monday through Thursday from 7 am to 9 pm and Fridays from 7 am to 5 pm. Reservations can be made by scanning the QR code located outside each space.

Final Oz Speaks Event Focuses on Gun Control

By WTOP 10 Your Television — 8 years ago

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F1oCcXB5Ss[/embedyt]

OSWEGO, NY – On Monday March 26th, the last Oz Speaks of the Spring 2018 semester was a panel discussion on gun control. The panel included Executive Director of Gun Owners of America Erich Pratt, Director of the Counseling Services Center Katherine Wolfe-Lyga, Regional Coordinator of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence Gary and was moderated by Associate Professor of Public Justice Jaclyn Schildkrau.

This panel comes at opportune time in the wake of the Parkland shooting last month and those students organizing the March for Our Lives protest this past weekend.

“What I hope [students] get out of it is that they take the things they heard from especially what Erich and I said today and I hope that they go back and do their research,” Pudup said. “I hope they really do that so when they form an opinion it is based on their research and not just based on what I said or what [Pratt] said.”

After the panel discussion was over, the floor was open to give students the opportunity to ask the panelists questions and share their own opinions.

“I know people who have actually used guns in self defense,” Pratt said. “We protect our president with guns, we protect the Congress with guns but then at schools we put up a sign that ‘NO GUNS ALLOWED’ and that’s not working to keep people safe.”

Oswego, NY — Scholarships are an important part of college life because they reward students for excellent work and achievement, or provide aid to other students who need the financial bonus to help further their school career. One of these scholarships is the Johnson Hall scholarship and it’s raised at a special event in Sheldon Hall called the Bidding Bonanza (or Bidbon for short).

Last week was the 21st annual Bidding Bonanza with dozens of items up for auction and several themed baskets being placed into a raffle. From HD televisions and beats headphones to Ozfest tickets and various gift cards, Bidbon had a lot of items for students to bid on and gathered a lot of attention from potential bidders with all proceeds from this event go to the Johnson Hall Scholarship.

The event is hosted by Johnson Hall residents and RA’s with the main auctioneer, Jerimiah Butler, being a first year student.

“It’s a fun event for everybody, we sold a lot of great stuff tonight, I even got these beats hadphones.” He commented.

The auction raised over $600 dollars for the scholarship which will be given to a lucky Johnson Hall resident next semester.

Lakers Suffer Loss in Season Finale

By Brittany Cairns — 8 years ago

The Oswego State women’s basketball team fell to nationally ranked Geneseo by a score of 47-31 on Saturday.

Oswego held their own during the first two quarters against the Knights and trailed by only eight at the half. Rachael Windhausen was the main reason as she scored seven points to go along with nine rebounds. She would finish the game with nine points and a career-high 15 rebounds. Ultimately, Geneseo’s third quarter play would give them a lead as large as 16 points and also the victory.

In her final game at Max Ziel Gymnasium, Zana Dillard grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked three shots. She finishes her career with 735 rebounds, sixth most in Oswego history, After suffering an injury in Friday’s game, Courtney Ameele concludes her career as one of only ten members in Oswego’s 1,000 point club.

The Lakers finish their season with a 7-18 overall record and 4-14 in conference play. The Knights finish conference play with a 18-0 record and will begin preparation for the SUNYAC playoffs.

WTOP-10 T.V. Successfully Airs Five Hour HD Broadcast

By WTOP 10 Your Television — 9 years ago

The student-run television station aired their longest Election Night broadcast on November 8 with coverage reaching five hours

What was originally planned as a four hour broadcast airing from 8 p.m. EST until 12 a.m. EST, turned into five hours going off air at 1 a.m. EST. This turned out to be the longest Election Night in Oswego broadcast thus far for WTOP-10 T.V. The extended coverage not only brought viewers up to date polling information but gave those who participated in the broadcast one of the most valuable experiences of their time to date at WTOP-10 T.V.

The broadcast was stacked with polling results in the national and local elections, live interviews with guests, and live shots from campaign headquarters around Syracuse, NY. Hosts Justin Penman ’18, Lauren Toscano ’16, and Kirby Socker ’18 conducted in-studio interviews with special guests that included: Editor-in-Chief of The Oswegonian, JoAnn DeLauter ’17, political science professor Brandon Metroka, international student Lindsey Martin, and social media correspondents Kalie Hudson ‘16 and Arielle Schunk ‘17. Bringing viewers live coverage at various campaign locations in Syracuse were Oswegonian reporters Natalie Brophy ’17 at Colleen Deacon’s campaign, and Lydia Goerner ‘17 at John Katko’s. The broadcast would not have been possible without the hard work that was put in from the talent and crew at WTOP-10 T.V. Producers Hayley Prenatt ‘17 and Justin Penman ‘18, have worked tirelessly for the past month to ensure that Election Night in Oswego would be the best it could possibly be. Penman, who also served as host for the entirety of the broadcast, expressed how it felt to play a major role in such a lengthy live show.

“Hosting a five-hour broadcast was exciting, exhausting, and most of all rewarding. The fact that I know I am capable of something like this gave me a real sense of accomplishment”, says Penman.

Prenatt says herself, and night-of assistant producer Anthony Sagrestano ‘18 ended up scraping a lot of the content that was planned due to the polling results constantly coming in.

“The hardest part for sure was not knowing what we were doing block to block because we were waiting on numbers”, says Prenatt.

On social media, Lauren Toscano ‘16 shared a message about the experience she had co-hosting Election Night in Oswego 2016. “We made history last night at WTOP. I’m super proud of how successful the broadcast was and am floored with the support we received.” Toscano wrote.

With this year’s five-hour broadcast completed, general manager Justin Dobrow ‘17 added to the feedback, expressing how amazingly dedicated the talent and crew were.

“I could not be more proud of the incredible crew and talent that were apart of this broadcast. We [WTOP] originally planned for only four hours, but with the consistency of our passion we all decided to go for one more hour- that’s what I love- that’s what makes us ‘Toppers,” says Dobrow.

With overwhelming support on social media and in the WTOP-10 T.V. office, each person involved in Election Night in Oswego, especially those graduating, were able to make memories to look back on for years to come.

Check out some pictures from the broadcast all courtesy of WTOP-10 T.V.’s very own photography director, Tom Kasperowicz ‘17:

SUNY Oswego and CITI

By WTOP 10 Your Television — 9 years ago

by Sabina Longo, WTOP10- TV

High school students in Oswego County and SUNY Oswego have been teaming up to help young adults with special needs develop work skills. Thirty students are enrolled into the Center for Instruction, Technology, and Innovation (CITI) program. The CITI program has been a part of SUNY Oswego for the past twenty-five years, and is currently located in the basement of Hewitt.

Students in the program learn basic work skills through making ceramic products. Each student is responsible for a different job including, pouring clay into the molds, smoothing the clay product before going into the kiln, and painting the pottery when finished. Once the ceramic items are complete, they are then sold within the community. All profits are funneled back into the program to buy more supplies and materials.

“Students are all striving to get some kind of skills that they can use in the workforce,” said Vocational teacher, Lisa Carney

CITI has three half day classes that run Monday through Friday every week for two hours. Students can qualify for the state aided program until they are twenty-one years old.

Hard Work is Paying Off in the Studio

By WTOP 10 Your Television — 9 years ago

Boxes galore is what you will see when you walk into the Al Roker Television Studio these days. Our installers are hard at work in the control room and the rack room installing new our new high definition equipment.

“What’s in these boxes right here is almost everything we need to complete the upgrade” – Justin Dobrow ’17, General Manager

The first thing that was installed in the studio were some cables.

Additional cables were installed in different parts of the studio

Take a look at the list of wires installers are using to figure out where each go in the studio (crazy confusing huh?).

List of wires the installers are using to connect everything together

After the cables are installed new equipment like the Ross Carbonite switcher, Xpression Graphics system, new Ikegami HD cameras will be installed and setup. New mounts for the monitors and wireless technology for the IFB and headsets will be installed as well.

Ross Carbonite switcher- “This lets us do green screens (called chroma keying), split screens, picture in picture, and lets us switch between video sources like cameras or videos like packages or show intros” – Nick Costanzo, V.P. of Engineering

Moving onto our new and improved rack room, better known as the “brains” of the new studio. In the rack room we have; Ross Xpression, Grass Valley playback system and a Tightrope media server that lets us schedule shows to play during the day or play reruns.

The rack room is coming together slowly

Stay tuned next week and keep up with our progress right here until the end of October!
