Oswego State Men’s Lacrosse Team Prepares For Season Finale
OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse team is set to play their final game of the 2021 season as they take on the Cortland Red Dragons on Friday, April 30th. This is the second matchup between the two teams this year, with the previous game ending in a 16-7 Cortland victory on April 9th. The 4 p.m. match up will take place in Cortland as the Red Dragons look to take the number one seed in the SUNYAC West.
Oswego is going into Friday’s contest on a 6-game losing streak including a 20-6 loss to the Geneseo Knights last week. In fact, the Lakers haven’t won a game since March 7th of 2020, their second-to-last game before the season was cancelled. The Red Dragons, however, have been dominant all season and are currently on a 5-game win streak. The Lakers need to generate enough offense to keep pace with Cortland’s explosive duo of Dante Yacavone and Zak Jones, who have 67 combined points this season. Oswego will be lead by junior attackman, Weston Gray, who leads the team in goals. The Lakers have also gotten solid production out of freshman midfielder, Lucas Cioch, who leads the team in assists and total points.
Unfortunately, history isn’t on the Lakers’ side in this matchup. The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse team is 0-37 versus Cortland all-time and will have to get their first ever win against the Red Dragons in order to avoid a winless season. Faceoff is set for 4:00 p.m. at Cortland.

Oswego Girls Buccaneers Hockey Finishes 2021 Season
OSWEGO, NY — The Oswego Girls Buccaneers Hockey team finished their shortened 2021 season Saturday Morning. The Buccaneers faced off against reigning State Champions Clinton in an early puck drop. Clinton would win 7-1 in the contest as Oswego struggled to get on the scoreboard. Bucs forward Mischa Palmitesso would get the lone goal as she was able to pull it to her backhand to bring it around Clinton goaltender Casey Clausen. At the other end, goaltenders Nyah Dawson and Chelsea Storms shared time in between the pipes that morning for the Buccaneers and did a solid job trying to keep the team in the game. However, Clinton’s offense was just too powerful as the Warriors would finish their season undefeated and at the top of the Section III Standings.
For Oswego, the Buccaneers struggled throughout the season as the team’s roster featured a lot of underclassmen trying to make the jump to the varsity level. However, the team did make strives throughout the contests in their limited schedule. Later on, in the season, the group was able to battle in games, one specifically being in the overtime lost against Skaneateles in the Crisafulli Ice Rink. The Bucs look to get back to their regular schedule in the 2021-22 season as the team was only able to play six games this season due to limitations from the COVID-19 Pandemic. A large part of the roster will be returning to the team along with both goaltenders currently on the Oswego team. This concludes WTOP 10’s coverage of the Oswego Girls Buccaneers Hockey team as the group has finished their 2021 season.
