OSWEGO — Laker Field Hockey took an OT loss 2-1 to SUNY Cortland after tying the game late on Saturday at Laker Stadium. The goal from junior Theresa Glynn off the penalty corner from Kathleen Little and Leah Romanowski that forced OT was with less than seven minutes left in regulation. The Red Dragons would net one past freshman goalie Erica Scheblein a little over 2 minutes into extra time. The Lakers have only two conference match ups before the start of SUNYACS, with Brockport and Geneseo. Currently sitting in 6th place, the team would need to pass Oneonta and Brockport to get a berth to the tournament. However, the ladies will travel to Rochester on Tuesday to face non-conference opponent Nazareth, which is the start to a three-game road trip.
