Lakers Clinch Third Seed For NEWHL Playoffs
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.

Cruise Around the World Has One of Its Best Turnouts Yet
This year’s edition of SUNY Oswego’s ‘Cruising Around The World’ took place this past Sunday, April 7.
Students toured different residence halls on campus. Each residence hall represents a different country or culture, and students are given a passport.
“We have been in Funnelle, Johnson, Mackin, and Sheldon, which are together, plus Riggs, Scales, and Waterbury. We are on our way to Seneca now,” Oswego student Valentina Solonos said.
Food and drink are also provided, for which volunteers are needed.
“I make sure that they come, have fun, and take pictures,” volunteer student Britini Robinson said.
Hart Hall featured the Bahamas. Here students could taste some food from the Bahamas such as piña colada, or experience the music or the culture from the Bahamas. Not only did students learn about the music and the food from the Bahamas, but also some of the slang from the region.
