The Oswego State women’s ice hockey team swept their home and home series against Cortland after their 4-1 win on Saturday. With the victory, the Lakers clinch the third seed in the NEWHL and move to 10-11-2 overall as well as 6-7-1 in conference action. The Red Dragons drop to 7-14-2 on the season.

Cortland was able to get on the board first when Katie DeVoe slapped one into the back of the net during the second period. It would not take Oswego long to answer though as Jean-Marie Padden was able to send a ricocheting puck past Cortland’s goalie, Rachael Farmer, just five minutes later.

In the third period, the Lakers’ offense was dominant with Olivia Ellis scoring her team-leading eighth goal of the season. Ellis would later assist on the goals from Kate Randazzo and Julieann White.

Cortland’s Farmer played all but 36 seconds in goal while recording 35 saves. Oswego’s Mariah Madrigal spent the entire game in net and stopped 14 shots.

The Lakers will return to action on Friday as they travel to Potsdam to take on the Bears. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm.

OSWEGO, N.Y.– For the cross country team this past weekend was one of the most important of the entire season. The team’s championship meet was held in Houghton NY.
Oswego Women’s Cross country team member Morgan Bronner said that she has enjoyed her last season with her teammates.

“The goal is to be the best I can be at the end of the season. Overall I think this has been a good season with a bunch of girls I really loved, It was enjoyable,” Bronner said.

Oswego Men’s Cross country team member Colin Greenseich finished 15th overall and earned a qualification spot to nationals. Greenseich no stranger to winning.

“I’d say my team favorite part was when we came in 3rd at SUNYAC. The was really big, huge for us. We didn’t do as well at regionals but coming in 3rd at SUNYACs was a really big deal. I was very happy about that. And at regionals, coming in 15th
and making it to nationals this week is really exciting,” Greenseich said.
