Lakers Will Look to Move Over .500
By Eoin Gallagher
After a disappointing loss at Ithaca, the Oswego State men’s lacrosse team will look to bounce back when they hit the road to face the Morrisville Mustangs. The Lakers are 1-1 on the season. Sophomore Kyle Bacon leads the team offensively with 6 points, while fellow attackman Bobby Emerson is off to a good start as well, posting 4 goals in two games. Freshman goalie Kevin O’Donnell has recorded 32 saves on 54 shots on goal in two games – including a 21 save performance against Ithaca – the most by any Laker goalie in the past five seasons.
Morrisville has struggled early on this year going 0-3 with losses against Geneseo and Oneonta, two teams Oswego will meet later when SUNYAC play picks up.
The game is scheduled for a noon start on Saturday.

Mumps on Campus
Reported by: Annie Flaherty
Two SUNY Oswego students have contracted the mumps this semester. Vaccinations at the college are required for all students, but there is a 30-day period in the beginning of the semester before students have to provide the records of their immunizations. The first case of the mumps appeared on campus during this period, whereas the second case appeared this past week.
School health officials took the proper precautions once they were notified the virus was on campus.
“We notified administration […] the student was placed in isolation, and isolation is just a private room on campus, and the student went home until results and symptoms resolved,” said Angie Brown, Director of Health Service at Mary Walker Health Center at SUNY Oswego.
Other students on campus had mixed reactions to hearing the diagnosis of the mumps in their community.
“I was going to get everything and do everything I could to keep myself healthy and safe,” said senior Joe Governale.
Since the school is taking precautions, other students had different things to say.
“I was kind of worried at first, but I don’t think it is as serious as some people think it is,” said student Lauren Nevil.
Officials at Mary Walker say that the symptoms of the mumps start out similar to the common cold, but the distinguishing symptom between the two are very swollen cheeks and glands under the ears. If anyone is experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Mary Walker Health Center at (315) 312- 4100 or online at Oswego.edu/walker-health-center.
