By Zac Case — 6 years ago

OSWEGO, NY — SUNY Oswego sports teams will have to conclude their seasons early due to the cancellation of NCAA spring sports. This comes after the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus that has been affecting sport leagues and events all over the United States and the world. Four teams from the college will have to call their season short after three out of the four teams began their 2020 season. Softball was the only Oswego team out of both Lacrosse teams and the Baseball team ,who has been on the road for their season so far, to not start their 2020 campaign. Men’s Lacrosse started off 3-1 as the group got three wins right off the bat before falling to Clarkson last week. Women’s Lacrosse finished at 2-2 as the group went 1-1 at home and then headed on the road for a 19-2 victory against Lycoming.

Besides these four sports teams, many other individuals are affected due to winter sports having individual championships for sports like track and field. Some Oswego student-athletes were competing for individual championships. The big question moving forward will be based around eligibility for athletes for next season. The NCAA has to decide if seniors would be allowed to play for their team next season. WTOP 10 will have updates on Oswego athletics once sports resume.
