Lakers Earn Win on Senior Day
The Oswego State women’s ice hockey team beat Potsdam 4-2 on Saturday. With the victory, the Lakers finish out their regular season with a 11-12-2 overall record and 7-8-1 in SUNYAC play. The Bears drop to 12-11-2 overall.
During a busy first period for both teams, the Lakers took only four minutes to get on the scoreboard. Natalie Giglio was credited with the goal off an assist from Olivia Ellis. Potsdam scored the next two goals but that would be all that got past Oswego’s Mariah Madrigal for the remainder of the game. She stopped 25 shots during her time in the net.
Tied at two after one period, Oswego dominated on the offensive side of the puck. The team tacked on another two goals off the sticks of Philomena Teggart and Sarah Grupp.
Oswego will begin play in the NEWHL Championship next Saturday against Buffalo State. Puck drop is scheduled for 3 pm in Buffalo.

New York Says No to One-Week Fantasy Leagues
Daily fantasy sports leagues took a major hit in New York State today. State attorney general Eric T. Schneiderman announced earlier today that DraftKings and FanDuel, the two largest daily fantasy sports companies, stop accepting bets from New York State. He said the daily games are considered illegal gambling under NYS law.
The multibillion dollar industry has approximately 500,000 participants in New York, and the order is a major blow. Schneidermann is historically a consumerprotection advocate, and legal experts say other states may follow suit. Schneiderman said ““ It is clear that DraftKings and FanDuel are the leaders of a massive, multibilliondollar scheme intended to evade the law and fleece sports fans across the country… Today we have sent a clear message: not in New York, and not on my watch.”
DraftKings spokesperson Sabrina Macias said “We’re disappointed he hasn’t taken the time to meet with us or ask any questions about our business model before his opinion.” DraftKings sent an email asking its players to contact the attorney general to protect their “…right to keep playing daily fantasy sports.” Macias also said that the company strongly disagrees with the order and plans to pursue all available legal options.
