Oswego State women’s soccer goaltender Emma Allen was named the SUNYAC defensive player of the week. Against Brockport last Friday, the sophomore surrendered only one goal while playing the full 90 minutes. The following day in the Lakers’ win over nationally ranked Geneseo, she notched ten saves, just four shy of her career-high. Her efforts against the Knights also gave her her third shutout of the year. 

With 49 saves this season, Allen is currently in a tie for fourth in the SUNYAC. She will be back in action along with the rest of the Lakers on Saturday when they travel to Cortland to take on the Red Dragons.

Yesterday the Men’s hockey team traveled to Cortland to take on the Red Dragons in SUNYAC action. The Lakers would defeat the Red Dragons 4-1.

Each of the Lakers four goals were all scored by different players. Stephan Johnson would be the first Laker to score. He scored a power play goal to tie the Lakers with the Red Dragons with one minute left in the first period. At the halfway point of the second period, Kenny Neil, got his sixth goal of the year. With three and a half minutes left in the third, Chris Ragueso scored to put the Lakers up 3-1. Mitchell Herlihey would score with just under thirty seconds left in the game.

With the win, the Lakers improve to 5-0 on the year and are #1 in the SUNYAC with a 3-0 record. The Lakers will travel to Potsdam on Friday and to rival Plattsburgh on Saturday.

One SUNY Oswego student is dead and two are hospitalized due to allegedly lethal heroin.

Students were alerted early Saturday morning to the potential danger of the heroin by the New York state mass alerting system.

“Danger; Oswego heroin may be lethal. One is dead and two are hospitalized since early this morning,” the call said, “please beware.”

Students are urged to call University Police at 315-312-5555.

The names of the students have yet to be released, but WTOP will keep you updated with the latest information.
