Oswego womens soccer continues to dominate with win over Potsdam
OSWEGO, N.Y. – It was another day at the office for the Lakers as they tool it to the Potsdam Bears from start to finish. The Lakers came out swinging early and did not take their foot off the gas the whole game. Freshman Briana Winkler put the Lakers on the board early as she has made a huge impact on the team in her first year as a Laker. From there it was a bit of a back and forth battle until the end of the half. The second half is where things picked up for the Lakers as Katie Delgrosso put the Lakers up 2-0. With five goals on the season already, Delgrosso has been on an absolute tear. Potsdam just couldn’t do anything to halt the Lakers momentum as Lexi Thompson scored the third and final goal of the game for the Lakers, putting the contest away. The Lakers outshot the Bears 17-6 putting on an offensive clinic. The Lakers look to keep the hot streak rolling as they travel to Geneseo to take on the nights in a SUNYAC matchup this Wednesday.

Oswego State Softball Heads to Brockport for Doubleheader
BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Oswego State Softball heads to the road this weekend, eager to steal 4 crucial SUNYAC West division points against a familiar foe in the Brockport Golden Eagles. Oswego has gotten the best of Brockport and most of their recent matchups, winning 8 of 10 matchups since the 2016 season. However for this doubleheader, it will be crucial Oswego are able to complete a sweep to jump over Brockport in the standings to make a last minute push for a playoff spot. The Lakers are currently last in the SUNYAC West Standings.
In their last meeting almost a month ago, the Lakers were able to split the doubleheader with Brockport with lots of offense in their win and very little in the loss. Oswego would lose their first game of the series 5-2 but were able to bounce back with a convincing win 9-3 and Zoe Mennig and Madelana Wrubel contributed with two runs a piece. It will be a battle for the Lakers nonetheless as they have not swept the Golden Eagles on their home field since April of 2017.
As for Brockport they have been fairly 50/50 with going 3-3 in their last 6 as well as going 5-5 currently on the entire season including the SUNYAC. Brockport will look to rely on names such as Olivia Hayden to carry the offense as she leads the team in hits as well as runs. It sure should be a good one at the Clark V. Whited Complex in Brockport as two teams try and push for that two seed in the West Division through the fading stretch of the season, first pitch scheduled for 12 p.m. for the first game and 2 p.m. for game two.
