BROCKPORT, N.Y. — The Oswego State Women’s Lacrosse team lost their third SUNYAC game of the season on Wednesday, falling to the SUNY Brockport Golden Eagles 20-8. This is the Lakers second loss to the Golden Eagles in 2021 after previously losing 22-9 on April 17th. With Wednesday’s victory, Brockport moved to 7-1 in SUNYAC play and clinched first place in the west division.
Brockport came out of the opening faceoff firing as freshman midfielder, Logan Hibbard, scored back-to-back goals within the first 4 minutes of play. Oswego’s Shae McConnell responded quickly, bringing the score to 2-1. However, that would be as close as it game got. The Golden Eagles went on an 8-goal run throughout the first half and outscored the Lakers 7-5 in the second. Oswego wasn’t able to generate much offense in this contest. They shot the ball just 19 times all game and only 9 times in the first half. Freshman attack, Isabella Lembo, lead Oswego in scoring, totaling 3 goals on three shots. Logan Castiglione had 3 points of her own as she scored twice and added an assist. While Lakers leading scorer, Sela Wiley, didn’t have her usual outstanding game, she still scored once.
This loss drops Oswego to 3-3 in the West division and while they still sit in third place, they remain two games behind Geneseo. The Lakers have been mathematically eliminated for the SUNYAC Championship after their loss as Geneseo would secure the second spot in the division. Oswego was originally scheduled to take on SUNY Fredonia on April 24th, however, the game was cancelled following positive Covid tests from Fredonia. Now, Oswego will have the opportunity to improve to 4-3 against SUNY Geneseo on April 25th, their last scheduled game of the 2021 season. Game is set for 1 p.m. from Laker Turf Stadium and WTOP 10 will be at the field to cover all the action
