Oswego Women’s Hockey splits in weekend homestand
OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team split in back-to-back home games this weekend, falling to Plattsburgh State 5-2 on Friday before avenging their loss with a victory over SUNY Cortland 2-1 the following night.
It’s been an interesting start to the new year for the women’s hockey team. After their first two games of 2022 were cancelled, the Lakers dropped their first game of the year last week against Utica College. Looking to get one in the win column, the Lakers went into their game against Plattsburgh hungry for a victory. The Cardinal started the game off hot, scoring the first two goals of the contest opening period. Going into the second period, it took just 54 for sophomore forward Morgan Shines to get the Lakers on the board. Plattsburgh lead 2-1 heading into the third period. With 15:23 remaining in the game, Amanda Zenstein took a shot on net during a Lakers power play. Sophomore Kyleigh Grugin was able to rebound and snuck the puck into the goal, tying the game a 2 apiece. Though, following this momentum shift, Plattsburgh would go on to score three unanswered goals to end the period. This was the Lakers second loss to the #2 ranked Cardinal this season as they fell to them in a 5-0 contest on Nov. 13.
Heading into Saturday’s game versus SUNY Cortland, the Lakers were in need of a win to keep pace in the competitive NEWHL. Despite the first period be scoreless, the Lakers had a dominant 11-3 edge in shots-on-goal. Just 4:47 into the second period, Cortland stuck first with a goal, taking a 1-0 lead. A few minutes later, the Lakers took advantage of a three-on-one fast break and scored off a Morgan Shines tip-in goal. Throughout the rest of the second period, the Lakers found themselves in penalty trouble. Twice they were two-women down, but were able to kill the penalty efficiently. The game remained knotted up until senior captain Philomena Teggart scored the go-ahead goal with 2:30 left on the clock. This was Teggart’s first goal of the season and she couldn’t have picked a more opportune time to score it. Joanna Hiebert finished the game with 19 saves while Kyleigh Grugin and Ariella Haas each totaled an assist.
The Oswego State women’s hockey team now sits at 7-4-1 on the season and 4-3-1 in NEWHL play. Following this win, the Lakers will look to carry their momentum into Tuesday’s contest against Morrisville State College. Puck drop is set for 2:00 p.m. at Morrisville.
