Lakers Earn First Win Against Elmira
The Oswego State field hockey team gave Heather Moore her first win as the head coach after defeating Elmira College by a score of 5-4.
Playing on their home turf, the Lakers were the first to get on the board, courtesy of a goal by Jordan Sheehy. After the Soaring Eagles tied it up just over ten minutes later, Monica Harvey scored her first goal for Oswego. Elmira would score again to send the game into a 2-2 tie at the half.
In the second half, Elmira scored quickly to give themselves a one point lead. That would not remain for long though as Harvey connected with Katie Reynolds to even the game. Harvey finished the night with a career-best seven points including two goals and three assists. Her last point came in the 63rd minute on what turned out to be the game-winning goal by Kendra Walker.
Lakers goalie Sarita Charap stopped 22 shots in the full 70 minutes with her defense also stopping three shots. Julie Hockenberger finished with five saves for the Soaring Eagles.
Oswego, now 1-2, will look to continue their winning ways on the road against Wells College on Saturday.

Oz Speaks Series: ‘Blue Lives Matter’
by Ilyssa Weiner, WTOP10-TV
Moderated speak-out series “Oz Speaks” held the most recent talk in their series on Oct. 25. The topic was on the issue about Blue Lives Matter.
Students, faculty and members of the community were encouraged to speak about their thoughts and feelings about the situation without it being a debate. Some participants shared stories of family members in law enforcement while others discussed the impact of both the Blue Lives Matter and Black Lives Matter movements on their personal lives.
Sophomore Keonna Wren was one of the participants of the event. One of the issues she spoke about was her identity as a black woman and how the two movements, [Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter] shaped her life.
“I absolutely love events like this because it’s not a debate,” said Wren. “I’m happy I got to spoke my truth and that’s what I came here for.”
Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students Jerri Howland is one of the organizers for “Oz Speaks.” She says this speak out is different from the others because of the structure for how Blue Lives Matter came about and how this movement contrasts to Black Lives Matter.
“It’s not only important for students, but it’s important for everyone in our society to make sure we listen to all points of views,” Howland said. “I think it’s when we don’t listen to others and don’t understand their point of view that we don’t really get to the heart of what diversity is.”
Howland says the goal of the “Oz Speaks” series is to create a space for the SUNY Oswego community to freely speak about their thoughts on issues. She believes the series has successfully done that so far.
The next “Oz Speaks” talk will be Nov. 1 at 6:30 PM in the Campus Center Auditorium.
