OSWEGO, N.Y. — As the fall semester comes to a close, the Oswego State women’s hockey team finishes the first half of their 2021-22 season. The Lakers are 6-2-1 after nine games played and are third in the Northeast Women’s Hockey League (NEWHL). Oswego State posts a 3-0-2-1 record in conference play and trail behind Plattsburgh State and SUNY Cortland. Those two loses come from the two opponents the Lakers are chasing for the conference lead. The Lakers were able to string together a three game win streak heading into Christmas break after defeating SUNY Potsdam, Williams Smith, and SUNY Cortland.
So far this season, the Lakers have been led by Ariella Haas and Megan Teachout on offense. So far, the transfer from Elmira College has two goals and seven assists for nine points in her first season with Oswego State. Haas is currently the only Laker that is a point per game. Teachout, Kyleigh Grugin, and Morgan Shines are all tied for lead in goals with each player tallying four. The offense averages 3.1 goals per game with 40.4 shots per game.
On the other side of the puck, the defensive core has averaged only 2.0 goals allowed through nine games played. Defenseman Avery Webster leads the team in blocks with seven and also has four assists. In between the pipes, the goaltender tandem of Joanna Hiebert and Bryn White have done a solid job after starting their first season with the Lakers. Head Coach Mark Digby has given both goaltenders time in games but Hiebert has gotten the majority with six games played. The Michigan native currently posts a 2.30 goals against average with a .875 save percentage. White has less time in net but posts better numbers holding a 1.33 goals against average and a save percentage of .915.
After the break, Oswego State will ring in the new year with a trip to Massachusetts to take on nonconference opponent Amherst College. The January 3rd match up will be the fifth game between these two programs. Amherst currently holds the advantage in the match up history with the Mammoths holding the record 3-1. Oswego will head back to NEWHL play on January 7th when Oswego State heads to Morrisville to take on the Mustangs.
