Oswego State men’s lacrosse falls to Hartwick in season opener

By Luke Rosenthal — 5 years ago

ONEONTA, N.Y. — The Oswego State men’s lacrosse team kicked off the 2022 season on the road, falling to Hartwick College 9-6 on Tuesday. Although it was a tough way to begin the new campaign, Oswego saw great production from the team and had five total goal-scorers on the day.

The game started off relatively slow with Hartwick scoring the only first quarter goal just over five minutes in. However, the second quarter saw both the Lakers and Hawks heat up offensively. Hartwick a flurry of goals to begin the second frame, bringing their lead to 3-0 with 12:10 remaining in the first half. It wasn’t until the 8:08 mark where Oswego capitalized on a Hawks turnover and turned it into a Rob Nelson goal. Not even a minute later, Hartwick brought their lead back up to three on a fast break shot that found the back of the net. Later in the quarter, the Hawks were called for a slashing penalty which put the Lakers in a man-up situation that they cashed in on. Senior Weston Gray found Gavin Elston as he shot one past the Hartwick goalie, bring the score to 4-2. Although this provided a burst of momentum for Oswego, Hartwick remained relentless before the half. The Hawks snuck in another goal before the end of the second quarter and brought the lead to 5-2 heading into the intermission.

To begin the second half, Oswego was flagged for a cross-check, giving Hartwick an extra-man opportunity early in the third quarter. A sixth Hawks goal followed the penalty, giving the home team a four-point lead. After some back-and-forth play throughout the next ten minutes, Hartwick laid in another goal which brought the score to 7-2. Though before the third quarter ended, Ryan Dumont scored his first goal of the season, assisted by Weston Gray. Heading into the final quarter, Oswego needed a few scoring runs to keep pace with Hartwick. Devon Gerhardt got things started for the Lakers at the 11:45 mark as he found the net for his first goal on the year. Just four minutes later, Gavin Elston put in his second goal of the contest, bringing the deficit to two. However, that would be as close as the score got from there on out. Hartwick put in two more goals over the final seven minutes of regulation before Cameron Tallman scored the final Oswego goal with 30 seconds remaining.

Although the Lakers have now started the 2022 season off 0-1, Oswego saw great production offensive and defensively that they can build off of. Under new interim head coach Sean Eccles, the Lakers saw seven players record at least one point in the contest. Goalkeeper Aiden Kenyon also gathered in 15 saves in his first start for Oswego. The men’s lacrosse team will have the opportunity to rebound on Saturday, Mar. 5 as they take on SUNY Polytechnic. Face-off is set for 1:00 p.m. at Utica.

Oswego womens soccer suffers first loss of the season

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

DUNKIRK, N.Y. – With tons of momentum going into their forth game of the season, the Lakers were hungry to take down Ithaca. Unfortunately all good things most come to an end, including the Lakers undefeated record. The Bombers applied pressure early getting two shots on goal within the first five minutes of the game, ultimately setting the tone in the beginning of the contest. Shortly after the Bombers scored the first goal of the contest. The Lakers didn’t back down and twenty minutes left in the first Nicolette Joannou set up Maggie Riordan for her second goal of the season. The Bombers took the lead again early in the second quarter and were able to maintain the lead to close out the game. The Lakers put up six shots in the last fifteen minutes of the contest but just couldn’t put the ball in the net to tie the game. The Lakers look to get back in the win column as they stay in Fredonia for day two of their tournament to take on the Fredonia Pioneers. Game begins at 12:30 PM

Lakers women’s soccer with two shutouts this week to kick off the season

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

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.
