OSWEGO N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s basketball team Saturday suffered an unfortunate 59-48 loss to the Fredonia Blue Devils. The Lakers stayed in it until the very end where Fredonia went on a nine point run to end the game, ultimately giving the Blue Devils the victory. It was almost as close as it can get heading into the forth with the Blue Devils only up by one point. The Lakers were ready for a battle, but came up on the losing end. Freshman Shania Iglesias was the lead scorer for the Lakers dropping an impressive seventeen points with two three pointers and nine rebounds. Right behind Iglesias was senior Danielle Caivana with twelve points. Despite this tough loss, the Lakers have to find a way to start clicking and picking up some wins. All hope is not lost as the Lakers return after the holiday season to host Alfred State January 3rd in the Max Ziel Gymnasium. Tip off is at 12 p.m. on WTOP 10!

Oswego State men’s lacrosse extends win streak to seven, first time since 2012

OSWEGO, N.Y. — In the first ever meeting between the two programs, the Oswego State men’s lacrosse team defeated New Paltz 18-10 on Friday. With this victory, the Lakers extend their win-streak to seven games, their longest since the 2012 season.
It was another dominant offensive display from the Lakers, one that fans have been accustomed to seeing during this seven-game stretch. Oswego notched one on the board first with Corey O’Connor assisting Max Brodman, giving the home team an early lead. Shortly after, Lakers leading goal scorer Gavin Elston found the back of the net for his first goal of the afternoon. Following the Hawks first goal of the contest, Ryan Eccles set up Elston twice in less than a minute to put Oswego up 4-1. New Paltz would go onto score once more, but throughout the final 3:42 in the opening quarter, the duo of Eccles and Elston continued their stellar performance and put in two more goals. The Lakers went into the second quarter with a 6-2 lead, but O’Connor quickly extended the lead after gaining the opening draw control. Though, over the next seven minutes, New Paltz scored four unanswered goals. Eventually, Eccles found the back of the net for his second goal of the game, but the Hawks would go on to score with 22 seconds remaining in the quarter. Oswego went into halftime leading 8-7.
After being shut out in the third quarter by Potsdam earlier in the week, Oswego completely flipped the script in this game. Elston picked up his 23rd goal of the season off a Brodman assist with 13:31 on the clock. Three minutes later, Eccles got his hat-trick off another Brodman assist. Over the final ten minute of the third quarter, not only did Oswego continue hold New Paltz scoreless, but Brodman, Weston Gray, and Ryan Dumont all scored to make the score 13-7. This run virtually put the game out of reach for the Hawks as they could not go on a run to tie the game after this point. Both team went goal-for-goal to open up the final quarter, with Max Brodman collecting another two goals. He would go on to complete his hat-trick to give the Lakers a 16-9 lead with 6:16 left in regulation. New Paltz went on to score once more, but it wouldn’t be enough to overcome the large deficit. Oswego closed out the game with Liam Sexton scoring two fancy goals including a beautiful behind-the-back shot. The Lakers went on to win 18-10 and secured their third SUNYAC win of the season.
Not only was this the seventh straight win for the Lakers, it also marked the fifth straight game in which Oswego put up at least 18 points. Oswego was extremely efficient on offense throughout the day as they had a total of 11 player record at least one point. The team was well-rounded in other aspects of the game as well. The Lakers won more faceoffs (16-14), collected more ground balls (34-20), and had less turnovers (15-27). With this win, Oswego is now tied for first place in the SUNYAC with Cortland and Geneseo. The Lakers will have the opportunity to knock off at least one of those teams this week as they take on Geneseo under the lights. Faceoff is set for 7:00 p.m. on Friday at Geneseo.
