BROCKPORT, N.Y. – The Laker men’s soccer took a trip to western New York to play their first SUNYAC matchup against the Brockport Golden Eagles on Wednesday. This game was back and forth right from the beginning stages of the contest when both teams shared possession in each teams offensive zone. Oswego took momentum starting at the 20-minute mark, firing three shots at Brockport goalie Andrew Taylor. But both teams couldn’t get anything to go in the first 45 minutes and the score was tied at 0-0 at half.
Oswego started with the momentum again in the second half but was then stopped when Russ Domm scored for Brockport at 51:24. Both teams started to become frustrated from not getting much going and the officials gave out three yellow cards in just 6:57 of play in the second half, two for Oswego and one for Brockport. Jean Pierre Moquillaza put a shot on goal in the 78th minute in hopes for a tying goal but Taylor made a great save keeping the lead for the Golden Eagles. The Lakers had one opportunity to tie with 16 seconds left on the clock but Taylor read Jason Wuytack shot well to clinch the win for Brockport. Kyle Gehnrich led the Lakers with three shots and Matt D’Arpino finished the contest with four saves in the net for Oswego. Oswego is now 2-4-1(0-1-1 SUNYAC)
The Lakers will come back home to take on SUNYAC opponent Cortland Red Dragons on Saturday, September 24 for at 1:00PM
