CORTLAND, N.Y. — The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse team lost their final game of the season on Friday falling to the Cortland Red Dragons 16-5. This is the Lakers second loss to the Red Dragons in 2021 and their seventh loss of the season. This contest wraps up the 2021 season for the Lakers, the first year that the program will go winless. With the win, Cortland will take the number one seed in the west division after finishing the season with a 5-1 conference record.
Cortland was dominant from the opening faceoff, scoring the first 6 goals of the game, including four first quarter goals by attackman, Dante Yacovone. Oswego freshman midfielder, Lucas Cioch, got the Lakers on the board following a second quarter goal, however, they were unable to keep pace with Cortland’s explosive offense. Three other Lakers scored in Friday’s contest, including Ryan Dumont (2), Ryan Eccles (1), and Tyler Stevenson (1). Senior goalkeeper, Kevin O’Donnell, ended his collegiate career on a high note, totaling a career high 27 saves, bringing his season total to 125. With this loss, Oswego drops to 0-7 on the season and finishes last place in the SUNYAC West division.
It was an unfortunate season for the Oswego Men’s Lacrosse team to say the least. The first two games of the season were cancelled due to Covid regulations, so the Lakers weren’t able to get off to a hot start. Junior attackman, Weston Gray, lead the team in goals with 9 and added 4 assists in 2021. Oswego went into a reduced season with an extremely young roster and while they may not have won, they will continue to develop their talented players to compete in the future.
