The Oswego State field hockey team is still searching for their first win of the season after falling to St. Lawrence University Friday night by a final score of 5-1. Due to inclement weather, the first game at Laker Turf Stadium this year was pushed from 7 p.m. to 8:40 p.m.
The Saints opened the scoring thanks to Jackie Reiss’s first goal of the season. That led the way for four more goals from the away team. One from Sonya Sandhu and three from Tori Shaffer. Finally in the 64th minute the Lakers were able to break through with Riley Mallet’s first goal of the season.
Lakers goalkeeper Sarita Charap stopped nine shots in the full 70 minutes while Lexi Oskam and Sophie Cardenali split time and combined for three saves for the Saints.
Oswego, now 0-2, will play their next game on Wednesday at home against Elmira College.

Enactus Club
OSWEGO, NY – If you’re a Business Management major and you’re looking to take the next stop to follow your dreams, then the Enactus program is the club for you. Enactus is an international organization with 1600 universities across 37 countries totaling around 60,000 plus students. I asked Spencer Wieland, senior vice-president of the Enactus Club to determine how do you prepare for the business world.
You can get a lot of real world experience joining Enactus or other organization (Weiland said). Enactus gives you the opportunity to do various projects in the community. Not only help the community but to actually get the real world experience of marketing and accounting.
The Enactus team will be traveling to Washington D.C. on the starting on March 28th and ending the 29th. Weiland claimed that they’re going to present a digitized project where we install new technology in the business such as a (POS System). If the team is successful enough, then they will be traveling to St. Louis later. (Date will be announced at a later date.)
To those that want to be successful in the business world in the future. Weiland states that a high GPA means a lot but doesn’t mean too much if you don’t have any real world experience. “Get involved!”

What’s to Come After Going HD?
Now that we’ve gone over what exactly “going HD” means, let’s take a look at what’s going to happen once the conversion process is complete at the end of October.
Immediately after the upgrade is complete members will be putting on some of our biggest broadcasts of the semester. V.P. of Productions Ian Dwyer ‘17, is excited to have the opportunity to make these broadcasts happen in high definition as opposed to standard definition, “Getting a chance to debut our new HD studio to the campus and the community with these first big broadcasts is really going to be rewarding; they are the first HD broadcasts we are going to do here at WTOP!”
These broadcasts that Ian is talking about are the Media Summit Red Carpet Show, the Presidential Election, and Whiteout. The Media Summit Red Carpet Show will broadcast live October 27, 2016 right before the annual Dr. Lewis B. O’Donnell Media Summit. Last year the summit was hosted by WTOP alumni KSNT News’ weekend meteorologist Christina Reis ‘16 and one of NewsChannel 9’s producers, Robert Hackford ‘16. They had the opportunity to discuss the panelists and the year’s theme, equality and diversity in the media.

Following the Media Summit Red Carpet Show, a little over a week later will be our Presidential Election broadcast. This broadcast is going to be massive- Ian Dwyer says that it will be the most involved production of the year, with the aim of pulling off a four hour live broadcast airing from 8 p.m. until midnight.
“[We hope to have] live guests in the studio as well as reporters doing live shots from each of the campaign offices locally in town and Syracuse,” Dwyer adds. This means all hands on deck with a full crew in the studio and additional members out in CNY reporting live to pull off this broadcast.
With the excitement building for a semester of new productions, Sports Director Morgan Rumpf ‘17 is most excited to see all the advancements the HD upgrade is going to give to WTOP-10 TV’s broadcasts. Rumpf added that the sports department is in a unique position because they are still putting on live sports broadcasts despite no other production going on, “Before the upgrade is complete the Sports Department has put on 11 broadcasts since September 1, 2016 using our mobile cart unit, with many more still to come.” “We are so fortunate that WTOP has allowed us a way to continue to broadcast fall sports; Volleyball, Field Hockey and Soccer while the upgrade takes place”, Rumpf says.
Whiteout weekend, which is happening a little later, February 3-4, 2017, will be another major broadcast happening in HD. This gives everyone a little break with the craziness that will ensue at the end of October and early November with two huge broadcasts happening. Whiteout is the biggest broadcast of the year for the sports department, it brings together the community and Oswego State students; even alumni come back to Oswego to watch the epic rivalry between the Oswego and Plattsburgh.

I think V.P. of Productions Ian Dwyer speaks for all members when he says: “I can’t wait to see the communities reaction to our new and improved HD station. The broadcasts that we will be putting on will be the best WTOP has ever seen.”

After coming off a strong divisional win against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants will try to continue their three game win streak against the Cincinnati Bengals. For the Bengals, this is a must win game as they look to keep pace in a competitive AFC north. Expect this game to be a high scoring one as these teams have two of the best passing offenses in all of the league.
