Oswego women’s basketball falls to Knights
OSWEGO, NY- It was a tough outing for the Lakers this past Tuesday. The Lakers were not able to keep up with Geneseo’s fast pace offense and ultimately lost in a blowout. Oswego found themselves in a hole that they couldn’t dig themselves out of early as they were trailing the Golden Knights by fifteen at the end of the first quarter. Despite a great performance by senior Peyton Daeffler who dropped eight points in the contest, it wasn’t enough to get her team going. The Lakers had a remarkable second quarter putting up eighteen points and heading into halftime only down by five. Despite the impressive second quarter it was not enough as the Golden Knights put up thirty-five points in the second half compared to the Lakers twelve to seal their 62-34 victory.
