Oswego State men’s hockey heads west to Rochester

By Zac Case — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — This Saturday, the Oswego State men’s hockey team will travel west down Route 104 to Rochester to take on the Nazareth College Golden Flyers. 7-3-1 Lakers take on a familiar nonconference opponent after stringing together a four game win streak which features Oswego State outscoring nineteen to four. This is due to the offense coming into form especially the powerplay unit which now ranks second in the SUNYAC with a power play efficiency of 33.3 percent. The Lakers have five powerplay goals over the course of the four game win streak heading into this weekend’s contest. Senior captain Travis Broughman leads the team in points with eleven. The Laker has three goals and eight assists through eleven games played and is currently the only Oswego State player that averages a point per game. Alex DiCarlo leads the team in goals with six total. The forward also has three assists for a total of nine points.

On the defensive side of the puck, the goaltender tandem of Steven Kozikoski and Eric Green have improved since the start of the season. Over the course of the past four games, Kozikoski has seen action in three of the contests and improved his season statistics to a 1.51 goals against average and a .944 save percentage. Green was able to get his first win as an Oswego State Laker this past weekend against SUNY Canton and posts a 2.91 goals against average and a .840 save percentage. The defensive core has allowed opponents to only score 2.1 goals per game over the course of the season.

On the other side of the ice sheet, the Nazareth Golden Flyers enter the contest with an overall record of 3-6-1 and find themselves sixth in the United Collegiate Hockey Conference. The Golden Flyers are looking for their first nonconference win over the season and are currently on a one game win streak after defeating King’s College 5-2 at home. Ryan Turse leads the Golden Flyers in points with two goals and six assists for eight total points. Forward Nick Charron is tied for the lead in goals with a total of three on the year. Starting netminder Matt Sayles posts a 3.01 goals against average with a .894 save percentage heading into the contest and will most likely start this Saturday.

Looking at the match up history, the Oswego State Lakers have only lost two games against the Golden Flyers since the teams first meet back in the 2012-13 season. Oswego has nine wins against the program and is currently on a four game win streak against Nazareth College. At Bill Grays Regional Iceplex, the Lakers are 3-1 and their only lose came during the 2015-16 season.

Oswego State Women’s Basketball falls short this weekend

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — It was a rough weekend for the Lakers as they suffered two unfortunate losses Friday and Saturday. The Lakers played the Buffalo State Bengals Friday. Despite a valiant effort, the Lakers fell short with a fourteen point loss. Oswego State was off to a great start with help by star sophomore Chastin Giles. Giles had yet another dominant performance scoring twenty-one points. Not an uncommon sight seeing her put up big numbers like this. Giles was splashin all night, scoring five three pointers. Senior Danielle Caivana also had a notable performance with fourteen points. Unfortunately the Lakers were outscored in the first three quarters making a fourth quarter comeback highly unlikely. Despite Outscoring the Bengals in the fourth, it wasn’t enough to get the job done. The Lakers then had to shift their attention to the Golden Eagles of Brockport who have been on a tear this year.
The Lakers took on SUNY Brockport Saturday in a very close game from start to finish. The Lakers put up a fight but sadly came up short in a twelve point loss. Both teams put up big numbers in the first quarter with the Golden Eagles putting up nineteen and the Lakers with sixteen. From there it was a battle. The Lakers were hungry for a victory and fought tooth and nail to come out on top. Senior Danielle Caivana had yet another great performance dropping sixteen points, twelve of those points coming from threes. Caivana is the backbone of this offense and will surely be missed next season. Freshman Shania Iglesias also put up sixteen yesterday. These two combined for half of the teams points this game. Brockport was able to break free in the third and fourth quarter, outscoring the Lakers by fifteen to solidify their victory. The Lakers have a week to recuperate and try to get back in the win column as they go on the road to take on Fredonia on December 11th at 12:00 p.m.

A Look Ahead: Oswego State men’s hockey prepares for SUNY Canton and SUNY Morrisville

By Zac Case — 4 years ago

OSWEGO N.Y. — After completing nine games into the season, the Oswego State men’s hockey team finds themselves second in the State University of New York Athletic Conference and trending upward towards the national poll. After starting slow with two losses against Hobart College and Elmira College the opening weekend, the Lakers were able to get back on track going 3-0-1 against SUNYAC opponents. The wins coming against opponents like SUNY Cortland, SUNY Brockport, and SUNY Potsdam. The 2-2 tie against Plattsburgh State was the only fall back during that four games stretch. The Geneseo Ice Knights came to the Deborah F. Stanley Arena on November 20th in anticipated match up. The Lakers would fall 6-1 to the Ice Knights after six unanswered goals over the course of the contest. Although the Lakers out shot the Ice Knights 23-17, Oswego could not find a way around Geneseo netminder Matt Petizian.

The Lakers were able to get back in the win column this past weekend with two wins against the Williams College Ephs. The 3-0 and 3-1 victories put Oswego at 5-3-1 overall record. Underclassmen Shane Bull and Garrett Clegg both had stand out weekends with Bull recording a goal and assist in each contest and Clegg with two goals and one assist. Clegg was named Oswego State Athletics Male Athlete of the Week due to his performances. Junior goaltender Steven Kozikoski has continued to come to form in between the pipes for Oswego State making 50 saves over the course of the two games and only allowing one goal. Kozikoski was named the SUNYAC Prestosports Goaltender of the Week due to his performances in this past weekend’s games.

Junior captain Travis Broughman is tied for the lead in points through the first nine games of the season. The forward has two goals and five assists for seven points in these contests. Connor Sleeth has matched that points total with one goal and six assists. The sophomore forward scored his first career collegiate goal in the Teal Game against Cortland and started the season with a six game point streak. On the defensive side, transfer Troy Robillard leads the team in blocks with a total of twelve. The junior defenseman has also tallied one goal and two assists for three points through his eight games played with the Lakers this season.

Around the SUNYAC

With most teams playing five games or more in the conference, SUNYAC fans have been able to see how the conference is going to shake out this season. Without any shock, the Geneseo Ice Knights lead the pack with a conference record of 4-0-0-0-1 with 13 points. Geneseo’s tie comes against Cortland two weekends ago. Their 13 points are followed up by the Cortland Red Dragons with 11 points. The Red Dragons are coming off a 4-1 win over the Morrisville State Mustangs Wednesday night. The Lakers who sit with 10 points and a conference record of 3-0-1-0-1 hold the third spot. Oswego State’s loss came against Geneseo in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena and their tie against the Plattsburgh State Cardinals on the North Country swing. Plattsburgh State and SUNY Brockport are tied for fourth with nine points. However, the Cardinals have already played seven conference games compared to the five the Golden Eagles have completed. The two teams out west, Buffalo State and Fredonia, both have six points and conference records of 2-0-1-0-0. Rounding out the conference, Morrisville and Potsdam are both looking for their first wins of the season after starting 0-0-5-0-0 and 0-0-6-0-0. As the fall semester finishes up, a similar picture has emerged. Geneseo remains to be the top dog in the conference after winning the SUNYAC Championship in 2019-20, and everyone else is chasing the number one team in the nation.

Around the Nation

After five weeks of the United States College Hockey Online Division III poll, Oswego State fans have been able to see where the Lakers fall compared to the rest of Division III hockey. Throughout the beginning of the season, the Lakers have been receiving two to four votes per week. Compared to the rest of the SUNYAC, Oswego is one of just three teams currently listed in the poll that represent the conference. Geneseo remained at number one for the fourth straight week receiving eighteen first place votes. The Ice Knights have an 8-0-1 record overall and will not face Oswego State until February 5th when the Lakers travel back to Geneseo. SUNY Brockport also has received votes the first five weeks of the season, but has been decreasing in the votes count due to loses the past couple of weeks. The Golden Eagles got four votes this past week after a 2-3 lost to Connecticut College and a 7-1 victory over Chatham University in the Skidmore College tournament.

As the national poll stands right now, Oswego State will play three more teams that find themselves in the national poll. The first being January 1st in the Oswego State Hockey Classic as current #4 Augsburg University takes on the Lakers at 7:00 p.m. in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena. Eight days later, Oswego will travel down Interstate 90 to take on current #3 Utica College in a Sunday afternoon contest on January 9th. This will the second contest between these two non-conference opponents this season after the Pioneers found themselves victorious in a preseason match up in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena. The final nationally ranked opponent will be the SUNYAC match up on February 5th in Geneseo.

A Look Ahead

Heading into this weekend, Oswego State sets their sights on SUNY Canton and then SUNY Morrisville. Friday night, the Lakers will head two and a half hours up north to take on the Kangaroos in a non-conference battle. Canton comes into the match up posting a 2-2-1 record and on a one game losing streak. Recently, the Kangaroos canceled their holiday tournament due to COVID-19 protocols. This will be the second contest these two teams will play this season after SUNY Canton dropped an exhibition match up to the Lakers earlier in October. This game gives Oswego another opportunity to continue their win streak and gain national attention as the season continues on.

On Saturday, the Lakers will head home for another SUNYAC match up in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena. The Morrisville State Mustangs will return to Oswego to add another chapter to the two team’s history books. The last time the Lakers faced the Mustangs, it was a 7-0 victory on February 15th, 2020. The Lakers have won the last seventeen match ups against the Mustangs and have only dropped one game against Morrisville. Special teams will have an impact on Saturday’s match up as the Lakers post a 25.0 percent power play efficiency compared to the Mustang’s penalty kill that is below an 80.0 percent success rate. Morrisville comes to Oswego after losing Wednesday night to Cortland 4-1. Oswego looks to continue their success in the conference as the team chases the top spot in the SUNYAC. Saturday night is also the annual Teddy Bear Toss game for Oswego State men’s hockey. On the first goal, Oswego State fans are asked to throw teddy bears on the ice.

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

OSWEGO N.Y. — Domination, decimation, good ole fashioned whoopin.  Just a few words to describe the Oswego State women’s basketball team and their incredible 75-39 victory over the SUNY Delhi Broncos. The Lakers are a very dangerous team and continued to prove this with their impressive performance Tuesday night, as they advanced to 2-1 on the season. Now on a two game winning streak, the Lakers are laser focused as they have an immense amount of potential this year. The freshman in particular balled out this game. For the second week in a row freshman Diamond Pickett led the Lakers in scoring with thirteen points, as well as an astonishing 16 rebounds. Pickett played well on both sides of the ball. Freshman Elania Johnson was right behind in scoring with twelve points. Two young ladies with extremely bright futures here in Oswego. Chastin Giles and Danielle Caivana also had impressive performances in this game. The Lakers were off to a lightning fast start, scoring twenty-five points in the first quarter compared to the Broncos ten. From there the defense went off holding the Broncos to just fourteen points in the second and third quarter. Outscoring the Broncos in all four quarters, this game was never close. Now it’s back to the office as the Lakers get ready for their next game. Oswego State looks to keep this win streak alive when they go on the road to face SUNY Poly at 5:00 p.m. in the SUNY Morrisville tournament this Friday.

Junior defenseman Tyler Antonucci brought the Lakers to within one following his powerplay goal in the second period.
