PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The Lakers took a trip east to take on SUNYAC competitor St. John Fisher cardinals on Tuesday night in a tough 2-1 loss. The Cardinals started the night pushing a fast tempo against the Lakers, but Oswego played very sound defense in the first quarter not letting up any goals. Senior Goalkeeper Erica Scheblein shined while saving 4 shots on goal in the first quarter. In the start of the second quarter the Lakers finally got something going. About four minutes into the second quarter Kacie Simzer would score the only goal of the night for the Lakers at the 19:02 mark assisted by Nancy Pagliaroli. Oswego would control the the rest of the second quarter, testing the defense of St. John Fisher and they would go into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
But Fisher didn’t take too much time to answer back. Just over two minutes in the 3rd Audrey Grieb would get the cardinals on the board with an unassisted goal. Not too long after that Cardinals received a penalty corner in the 35th minute that resulted in the go-ahead and eventually game-winning goal from Sam Choate. Oswego had plenty of chances with penalty corners, however, the Lakers were unable to take advantage the Lakers would need to make something happen offensively in the 4th quarter to get back into the game. St John Fisher then took command of possession in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals landed six shots in the final quarter, with the Lakers only landing one shot in the final two minutes of regulation. Scheblein would finish with ten saves on the night and Simzer would score her team leading 12th goal on the season.
Oswego will now travel to Cortland on Saturday, October 8th for a SUNYAC matchup against the Red Dragons. Oswego will be looking to get their first SUNYAC win of the season, while the Dragons will be looking to remain undefeated at home.
