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.

Men’s hockey wins first SUNYAC away matchup
CORTLAND, N.Y. – The Oswego State Lakers took a trip down I-81 to Cortland Friday for their first road conference game. A matchup between a ninth ranked Lakers squad and a Red Dragons that were receiving votes to get into the top 15 in the USCHO poll certainly had implications for the rest of the season.
The Lakers were the first to find the scoreboard. A little over eight minutes into the period, Tommy Cahill put one past the goalie. It was Cahill‘s third goal of the season. Assist went to Ryan Bunka. Cortland would answer back before the end of the period though. An unassisted goal with just over five to play tied the game. The Lakers had two power play opportunities towards the end of the first, but wouldn’t capitalize on either during the first period. Oswego outshot Cortland 15-9 in the period, Daniel Colabufo leading the team with four shots. Cal Schell, back in goal for his third start of the season, had eight saves.
The second period was all Lakers. The second goal of the game for Oswego came just 40 seconds in. Still on the power play left over from the first, Alex DiCarlo scored his second of the season. Assists went to Tommy Cahill and Daniel Colabufo. It took less than two minutes for the Lakers to double their lead. Thomas Rocco would score his fourth of the season, assisted by Connor Sleeth, his sixth. Goal four was again a quick fire, just 40 seconds later. Jackson Arcan scored his second, assisted by Alex DiCarlo. Once more, it took less than a minute for Oswego to score their fifth and final goal. Tommy Cahill netted his second of the game, Trent Grimshaw getting his third assist of the season. The Red Dragon’s starting goalie, Luca Durante was pulled after the fifth Lakers goal. Cortland wanted in on the scoring parade, adding one of their own, and their second of the game, just 40 seconds after the Lakers fifth. In total, five goals were scored within the first 4:10 of the second period. No other goals were scored in the second. Oswego again won the shot battle in the second 17-7. Schell only had six saves in the period.
Cortland fought in the third period to try and win or get to OT. It took until less then five to play in the game for them to score their third goal.
Then, with under a minute to play, they scored a fourth making it 5-4, but it was too late, as the Lakers held onto their lead. The squads tied in shots in the final period 11-11, but the Lakers won the overall battle 43-27. Thomas Rocco and Tommy Cahill led the team in shots with six each. Connor Sleeth was 12-15 on the face-off in the game. Cal Schell had 23 saves in the game to go with the four goals allowed.The Lakers are no 4-1 this season and 3-0 in the SUNYAC. Their next matchup is a big one as they head to the Ira S. Wilson Ice Arena in Geneseo, N.Y. for a ranked matchup with the Geneseo Ice Knights. The Knights are currently ranked #3, though they may fall after a tie with Plattsburgh Saturday night. They come home for a game with Brockport on Saturday.
