Women’s Soccer finishes their 2019 Season after splitting weekend
OSWEGO — Women’s Soccer finished their 2019 season this weekend against two strong SUNYAC conference teams. The Lakers started their final home stand versus Fredonia on Friday that ended in a 2-1 victory for the Blue Devils. However, sophomore Maggie Riordan would score the lone goal for Oswego just over five minutes into the game from a Graisa Madden pass. Fredonia would later get two past goalkeeper Sophia Portalatin, one coming before the end of the half and the second immediately at the start of the next half. Portalatin would rebound the following day against Buffalo State with a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory, the first SUNYAC win of the season. Lynsey Roth would snag two goals in the match up, one on a Penalty Kick and her second off the pass from freshman Katharine Balog. The team did not qualify for the SUNYAC championships, and finished their campaign with an overall record of 3-14.

Winter sports pushed back as NYSPHSAA holds meetings
OSWEGO, NY — This past Sunday, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) COVID-19 task force met once again to create a plan for the return of fall interscholastic athletics. The group has been reading over documents from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) which has guidance and recommendations on this ever-changing situation, created by the COVID-19 pandemic. This group has met five times so far and plans to release a comprehensive document containing information for schools across the state, which will be released this Friday, September 4th.
The newest news to come from the NYSPHSAA is the change to push the start date of the winter sports season from November 16th to November 30th. The association did this to allot time to schools and sections to complete this condensed fall athletic season. Currently, only low risk to moderate risk fall sports will be allowed to compete against other schools in their section. Football and Volleyball will be allowed to practice but cannot play due to the sports being categorized as both high risk sports. WTOP 10 will continue to update readers on the developing story as teams can begin practices on September 21st.

Oswego State Baseball kicks off 2021 Season at Brockport
The Oswego State Baseball team takes the field on April 3rd for the first time in the 2021 season, after the first three games to start their season were postponed or canceled. The Lakers go on the road to Brockport for a 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. doubleheader against the Golden Eagles, as they begin their road to a fourth straight SUNYAC title.
The first pitch on Saturday will mark the first game for the Lakers since the last contest of their shortened 2020 season on March 8th, which was a 6-4 win at Arcadia. The Lakers have won three straight SUNYAC titles and looked like they would have a good chance at four straight in their abbreviated season. The Lakers return three graduate students as well as 13 seniors who are all looking to win yet another SUNYAC championship. Oswego lost lots of top players over the past two years, but return big bats in Ryan Weiss (.444 AVG, 2 2B, 6 RBIs in 2020), Paul Tammaro (.429 AVG, 6 runs, 2B in 2020), and Kyle Lauria (.360 AVG, 2 2B, 2 3B, 7 RBIs in 2020).
Brockport is off to a 3-1 start, with a doubleheader split at Oneonta, followed by a dominating doubleheader sweep at Fredonia in which they outscored the Blue Devils a combined 32-4 this past Tuesday, March 30th. The doubleheader against Oswego marks Brockport baseball’s first game on their home field this season. Brockport has a plethora of hitters off to scorching hot starts this season; James Houlahan (.529 AVG, 2B, 2 RBIs), Ryan Mansell (.500 AVG, 4 2B, 3 RBIs), Nick Pastore (.471 AVG, 2 3B, 4 RBIs), Ryan Voight (.364, AVG, 2 2B, 1 HR, 7 RBIs).
Oswego pitchers will look to cool down the hot Brockport bats and the hitters will look to get off to a hot start right out of the gate. Oswego baseball starts their season Saturday, April 3rd at Brockport, with first pitches of the doubleheader scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. and WTOP 10 will continue to deliver content on the Oswego State Baseball team over the course of their 2021 season.
