OSWEGO, N.Y.– The Association of Black Psychologists specializes in different programs around campus. One program they run is Humans of Oz.

Based off the idea of Humans of New York, Humans of Oz gathers stories from students around campus. Students can share their personal stories or obstacles they have faced to help people in the community and themselves.

Secretary of Black Psychologists Kimberly Brown said that she enjoys listening to these stories because the answers that people give have a great impact on the people who visit their page.

Brown said she interviewed SUNY Oswego Student Asha Bey and said that Bey did not even realize that what she had spoken about had impacted Brown.

If you would like to share your story through Humans of Oz, or to check out stories from others, you can visit the their Tumblr page at http://humansofoz.tumblr.com/.

The Oswego State men’s hockey team defeated conference foe, Buffalo State, 4-3 on Friday night at the Marano Campus Center Arena. With the victory, the Lakers improve to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the SUNYAC while the Bengals drop to 3-2-1 on the season and 0-1-1 in conference play.

It did not take long for Oswego to find the back of the net as Joseph Molinaro scored his first goal of the season just five minutes into the game. However, Buffalo State responded with a score of their own to make it a tie game. Although there was not any scoring in the second period, the third made up for it. Aaron Huffnagle and Cameron Berry each scored for the Lakers during the period in five on five action. With Buffalo State down by one and time running out, the Bengals pulled their goalie for an extra skater. However, that move allowed Mitch Emerson to score an empty net goal which sealed the win for the Lakers.

In his third start for Oswego, goaltender David Richer stopped 21 shots. Buffalo State’s Ian Sylves made 35 saves during his time in the crease.

The Lakers will look to maintain their undefeated SUNYAC record tomorrow night against Fredonia in another home matchup. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm.

This past weekend, the men’s hockey team took on Morrisville in a home and home series.

On Friday, the Lakers traveled to Morrisville and defeated the home team, 4-1. Shawn Hulshof scored two of Oswego’s four goals and assisted on Alex Botten’s goal. Matt Galati was the other Laker goal scorer. Matt Zawadski was in net for the Lakers and stopped 19 shots.

On Saturday, the Lakers played Morrisville at the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena for their final home game of 2016. The Lakers would defeat the Mustangs, 8-1. All of Oswego’s eight goals were each scored by a different member of the Lakers team. David Jacobson would get the start for the Lakers and play in the first two periods. In the third, Cedric Hansen saw his first action of the season. Hansen stopped 6 shots and did not allow a goal.

With the two wins against Morrisville, the Lakers move to 9-0 overall and 7-0 in the conference. The Lakers will be on the road this weekend, stopping at Fredonia on Friday and Buffalo State on Saturday.
