ITHACA, N.Y. — The Oswego State men’s soccer team travelled south to take on the Ithaca College Bombers on Sunday. The Lakers hadn’t beat Ithaca since 1996 and they knew they wanted to change that.

They put the ball past Oswego goalie Matt D’Arpino just over a minute later. Luckily for the Lakers they turned it around real quick. Oswego’s Ha Joon Lee found the back of the net just three minutes later to tie the game. The pace of the game slowed from there. The next goal came in the 33rd minute. Kieran Gilroy for the Lakers scored his second goal of the season to put the Lakers up. Oswego didn’t stop there though, with Anastasios Diacovasilis scoring just before the half to give the Lakers a 3-1 lead. The second half didn’t see nearly as much action as the first. An early yellow card for Ithaca, and a few shots for each side were the only real action. Oswego beat Ithaca for the first time in 26 years. Although the Lakers were outshot in the game 16-9, they they had more quality shots, with 6 of their shots being on goal to only two of Ithaca’s.
