Lakers women’s soccer with two shutouts this week to kick off the season
OSWEGO N.Y. — The Oswego State Women’s Soccer Team is looking sharper than ever as they steamrolled through both of their opponents this week. They headed to Cazenovia to challenge the Wildcats in their season opener. At the 17:30 mark in the first have sophomore Katie Delgrosso scored the first goal of the season for the Lakers and it was all downhill for Cazenovia from there. Freshman Cassidy Adamec would add to the Lakers lead right before the half scoring her first collegiate goal in a moment that will stay fresh in her mind for some time to come. The second half of the contest is where the game got out of hand with the Lakers scoring goals left and right showcasing how they are a force to be reckoned with this season. Graduate student Graisa Madden finished the day with a stellar two goals and one assist for the Lakers. Katie Delgrosso also put up two goals in this matchup. With a 7-0 victory in the books, the momentum was on their side as the lakers would face SUNY Canton this past Saturday in their home opener.
The Lakers resume against SUNY Canton is astounding. The Lakers have not let up a single goal in franchise history against this Canton team and the streak continued as they dismantled the Kangaroos in another 7-0 victory. The Lakers were firing on all cylinders from start to finish. Despite this impressive performance, the Lakers had some trouble finding the back of the net in the first half as Canton’s defense only let up one goal despite many opportunities for the Lakers. Similar to Thursday’s contest against Cazenovia, the second half is where things got out of hand. Freshman Briana Winkler had the home debut of a lifetime scoring her first two goals as a Laker in this game. Winkler was on fire the whole game and will definitely see the field a lot more in the coming weeks. Katie Delgrosso, Graisa Madden, and Luignina Serrao all had very impressive performances in this contest. The Lakers season goal total for their 2021 season was nineteen and with just two games in the books, they are already approaching that total with fourteen. The Lakers look to keep this momentum going as they take on Houghton University at 5:00pm this Tuesday.

Junior attack, Logan Castiglione, will also look to top her last performance as she totaled 5 goals, 2 assists, and 0 turnovers.
