[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]
OSWEGO N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s basketball was able to come out with one win out of their two games played this weekend. Their first matchup this weekend was against SUNY Oneonta Friday night. Oneonta was heavily favored to win this contest with a much better record than the Lakers. The Lakers proved that they were no easy task as they stunned Oneonta with a three point victory. Oswego’s stellar offensive performance from the three point line combined with their lights out defense ultimately sealed Oneonta’s fate. Freshman Shania Iglesias continued to prove herself as a star of this Lakers team, dropping sixteen points with nine coming from the three point line. She was the Lakers lead scorer and it wasn’t close. Other key contributors were senior Danielle Caivana with eight points, and freshman Diamond Pickett with eight. Down early in the first, Iglesias entered the game and was on an absolute tear helping the Lakers take back the lead and maintain it throughout the contest. They were firing on all cylinders and despite only winning by three points, had an answer to everything Oneonta threw their way. Deep in the fourth when it mattered the most the Lakers held Oneonta scoreless the last three minutes to put this game away. The Lakers went on to host SUNY New Paltz the following night.
The Lakers looked to keep their momentum rolling after their impressive victory Friday. Unfortunately they were on the losing side this time. Another very close game against a high seeded New Paltz resulted in a five point loss for the lakers. At the end of the first the Lakers had it all tied up at ten a peice. The next quarter was where things started to get bumpy as the Hawks went into the half with a six point lead. Senior Danielle Caivana had a star studded performance for the Lakers with dropping nineteen points, for buckets coming from the three point line. Caivana continues to finish out her time here as a Laker with great performances. The other top scorer was Shania Iglesias yet again with eleven points. Heading into the fourth quarter the game was within four points. despite the Lakers valiant effort to come out with a win, they ultimately couldn’t get the job done in a hard fought battle. The Lakers host the Potsdam Bears this Friday in the Max Zeil Gymnasium. Catch the game at 5:30 on WTOP10!
