Oswego State women’s hockey narrowly edges past William Smith 1-0
OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s hockey team narrowly defeated the William Smith Herons on Tuesday 1-0. With this victory, the Lakers improve to 5-2-1 this season and enter their Thanksgiving break on a two-game win streak.
Oswego and William Smith played and extremely physical game from buzzer-to-buzzer. Early on, Oswego found themselves in penalty trouble but were able to efficiently kill the clock. For much of the first period, the Lakers offensive zone pressure smothered the Herons, allowing only three shots in the opening 20 minutes. As the game started to heat up, Oswego found themselves in a 5-on-4 situation in the second period, but were unable to capitalize on the powerplay. However five minutes into the third period, junior forward Ariella Haas scored the game’s lone goal off assists from both Chyne Kennedy and Emily Gustafson.
Oswego continued their dominance in the faceoff circle again on Tuesday, winning 29-17. Haas les the Lakers in faceoff wins (10-5), followed by Morgan Shines (8-4) and Sara Cruise (6-2). Starting goalkeeper Joanna Hiebert also continued her hot streak in this matchup, recording her second consecutive shutout and third of the season.
The Lakers are now 5-2-1 on the season and sit third place in the NEWHL standings. Following Thanksgiving break, Oswego will have a prime opportunity to move up in the standings as they travel to Cortland to take on the Red Dragons, who sit second in the NEWHL. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 3.
