The Oswego State men’s soccer team opened up SUNYAC play with a 1-0 win over New Paltz. Oswego’s victory marked the first time since this day in 2006 that the program won its conference opener.
The first and only score of the game came in the 59th minute as Lakers’ forward, Hassan Musa, netted his team-leading seventh goal of the season.
On the defensive side of the ball, Oswego held the Hawks to just three shots on goal. Goalkeeper, Brian Terra, improved his record to 4-1-0 after notching his second consecutive shutout.
Oswego, now 6-1-1 on the season will look to extend their winning streak to three games as they take on Oneonta tomorrow at 1:00 pm at Laker Turf Stadium.

“Strong and Healthy”
Reported by: Ilyssa Weiner
Oswego, N.Y.- With midterms rolling around, busy schedules as well as the winter weather has made things difficult for college students to achieve their desired fitness goals, especially losing the Freshman 15. Enter “Strong and Healthy”, SUNY Oswego’s newest fitness organization devoted to motivating students to not only stay active year round, but to think differently about how they work out.
“Strong and Healthy” Founder and President Autumn Caldwell started the organization in January. She suffered from depression after gaining 20 pounds during her first semester. A year later, Caldwell lost over 25 pounds and regained her confidence.
“I used to hate working out,” Caldwell said. “But working out has made me stronger as a person. Not just physically, but mentally.”
Since launching in January, “Strong and Healthy” has gained the attention of over 150 SUNY Oswego students, including Secretary Erin Clegg, who was unhappy with her skinny body and cardio workout and eventually turned to strength training.
“I really wanted to break the boundary between women and gaining muscle and lifting,” Clegg said.
“When a lot of people think of the word “strong”, they think of muscles and abs and a six pack,” Caldwell explained. “When they think “healthy,.” they think that means you have to be thin. That’s not necessarily the case. Being skinny does not necessarily mean that you’re healthy.”
“Strong and Healthy” will be holding a kick off event on April 22nd. -

Oswego, NY — The Reagan’s journey from Hollywood to the White House has come to a close.
Former First Lady, Nancy Reagan passed away Sunday morning at 94-years-old. According to her spokeswoman, Joanne Drake, Reagan died of congestive heart failure in her Los Angeles home.
Former President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan met in Hollywood and were married March 4, 1952. During her years in the White House Reagan was the anti-drug campaign’s “Just say no” spokeswoman. Reagan was a fierce protector of her husband both during his presidency and after. During the attempted assassination of President Reagan, Nancy Reagan never left her husband’s side and took care of him during his battle with Alzheimer’s.
Former first lady, Nancy Reagan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and had a mastectomy. When asked in 2001 by CNN’s Larry King if she thought that fate had treated her badly, she said “No, no. When you balance it all out, I’ve had a pretty fabulous life.”
Reagan will be buried next to her husband at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. According to a statement, in lieu of flowers, the former first lady requested for contributions to be made to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation.
