GENESEO, N.Y. — The Oswego State Women’s Lacrosse team lost their first game of the 2021 season on Monday, falling to the Geneseo Knights in a 22-9 defeat. This is the Lakers first SUNYAC loss after previously going 2-0 against SUNY Fredonia and Buffalo State in the west division. The nationally ranked Geneseo team was able to hold the Lakers offense which came out hot to start the 2021 season.
Geneseo came out of the gates firing, scoring six unanswered goals just seven minutes into the game, including three goals from senior attack, Hannah Marafioti. Lakers leading scorer, Sela Wiley, ended the Knights scoring run with a goal of her own. The Lakers faced a 5-goal deficit early in the first half, things weren’t looking great for the Lakers. Unfortunately, Oswego State wasn’t able to keep up with Geneseo’s high-powered offense for much of the game. The Knights went on three separate 6-goal scoring runs throughout the contest, effectively preventing any chance of a Laker comeback. Geneseo had three players score at least 4 goals, including Tessa Doody (4), Jacqui Thorsen (4), and Hannah Marafioti (6). Oswego was lead by Logan Castiglione, Kamryn Sherman, and Sela Wiley, who each scored two goals respectively. Oswego now falls to 2-1 in conference play, which currently places them third in their division. Oswego will have the opportunity to rebound in a out-of-conference matchup vs Clarkson University on April 14th at Laker Turf Stadium. WTOP 10 will be live at the field with all the action.

Oswego State baseball hits this weekend out of the park
ONEONTA, N.Y. – The Oswego Lakers baseball team had quite the impressive weekend in they’re three games played. Saturday the Lakers had a double header where they sweeped SUNY Oneonta in impressive fashion. The first matchup was a 8-0 shutout with the Lakers having an answer for everything Oneonta threw their way. Senior Paul Tammaro led the charge with two runs scored on the day with two RBIs. Ryan Enos also had two runs on the day in a performance that is far from unexpected. Enos has proved to be an integral part of this Laker team. Pure domination is the only way to describe this game as Oneonta could get absolutely nothing going in this contest. Pitcher Jakob Sanders had six strikeouts on the day and only gave up one hit.The next game was much of the same as this time only one run was scored for Oneonta, making the final score 7-1. Tammaro lead the large again in this contest as he was the lead scorer with two runs and two RBIs. Enos also had a run with two RBIs in this game. The Lakers weren’t able to get much going until late in the contest. Going into the top of the seventh, the score was 2-1 with the lakers sitting on a one point lead. They went on to score five runs in the seventh sealing this contest. They would then have one more contest with Oneonta the following day.
With Oneonta out for blood, this contest was much closer than the previous two. A slow start for the Lakers resulted in Oneonta having a three run lead early in the contest. The following inning the Lakers put up two runs when senior Ryan Weiss hit a two run homer that couldn’t have been more clutch. With the momentum back with the Lakers they began to fight 6-1 run the rest of the contest, resulting in a 8-6 victory. Weiss was the star player with three runs total and a homer on the day. The Lakers look to take this momentum into next week as they face Clarkson University at home this Tuesday in a double header. Games start at 2pm and 5pm. Catch it live on WTOP10!

The Lakers fell in both games over the weekend and enter the week with an overall record of 8-6-1. In the NEWHL conference, Oswego State holds the third spot behind Plattsburgh State and SUNY Cortland with a total of 11 points.

The Lakers will have this coming weekend off but first will travel to Geneva, New York to face off against the Williams Smith Herons. Recently, the Lakers lost forward Megan Teachout to the transfer portal. Teachout was able to produce on the offensive side of the puck but Oswego State was able to fill the hole in their offense this past weekend. Oswego State has already played Williams Smith this season back in November prior to Thanksgiving Break. The Lakers took that game by a score line of 1-0 as Ariella Haas netted the lone goal which was assisted by Chyne Kennedy and Emily Gustafson. Netminder Joanna Hiebert got the win in between the pipes for the Lakers with a total of 15 saves and the shutout. Against the Herons, the Lakers are 4-2-1 all time against the program hailing from Geneva. Oswego State lost 1-3 last time the group traveled for a road game against the opponent.
