Oswego State women’s soccer goaltender Emma Allen was named the SUNYAC defensive player of the week. Against Brockport last Friday, the sophomore surrendered only one goal while playing the full 90 minutes. The following day in the Lakers’ win over nationally ranked Geneseo, she notched ten saves, just four shy of her career-high. Her efforts against the Knights also gave her her third shutout of the year.
With 49 saves this season, Allen is currently in a tie for fourth in the SUNYAC. She will be back in action along with the rest of the Lakers on Saturday when they travel to Cortland to take on the Red Dragons.

By Fan Shi
OSWEGO, NY– SUNY Oswego’s career services held a graduate school fair and career fair to help students prepare for their December graduation and some international students were searching for a promising future.
International student Zhixing Zhai said that he is nervous for graduation and hopes to find an opportunity that will allow him to stay in the United States.
“You can see a lot of opportunities and chances here because there are so many universities. But you are not sure which one you are going to get in eventually. And this process made me very stressful,” Zhai said.
Other international students said they are struggling to find jobs. South Korean Senior Soyoung Moon said she finds it is difficult to accomplish a perfect resume.
“The resume structure between our country and the United States is very different.” Soyoung said.
SUNY Oswego career services offers help to students trying to put together a resume. They have a resource room where someone works with students in resume writing, guiding them towards internships and doing the same with job opportunities. Some of their other services include taking professional photos for LinkedIn profiles and helping students plan their future.
SUNY Oswego director of Career Service Gary Morris said they are improving their services for international students.
“We have some staff members who are kind of specialize to the systems we can give advantage to the international students. We try to stay a breath of the changing landscape of visa. We explore different products and software online like going global that details information that literally hundreds of countries out there to help our professional staff and our students staff better understand and be sense to the culture differences in different countries,” Morris said.
