Oswego State Women’s Lacrosse Prepares for Rematch Against Buffalo State

By Luke Rosenthal — 5 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego Women’s Lacrosse team is looking to end their 3-game losing streak as they take on the Buffalo State Bengals on Monday, April 19th. This will be the Lakers second game against Buffalo State this season, with their previous matchup being a 14-6 victory on April 10th. Oswego has four games left in the regular season and the push for the playoffs has begun across the women’s lacrosse west division.

The outcome of Monday’s contest will have a pivotal impact on Oswego’s postseason chances. After a 13-point loss to SUNY Brockport on April 17th, the Lakers dropped to 3-3 on the season and 2-2 in SUNYAC games. With only three games left in the season following their matchup against Buffalo State, it’s important for Oswego to win in order to stay within reach of one of the playoff spots in the west division. Buffalo State is currently on a 6-game losing streak, including a 23-2 loss vs the Brockport Golden Eagles on April 16th. The Bengals will be lead by senior midfielder and leading scorer, Samantha Burlow, who has 10 goals on the season. Sophomore goalkeeper, Janae Nelson, has totaled 65 saves on the season and will anchor the Buffalo State defense all game. Though, she’ll be facing a high-powered Laker offense, lead by Sela Wiley, who’s scored 22 goals this season. Look for freshman midfielder, Shae McConnell, to have a big role in this game as she scored 4 goals in their previous game against Buffalo State. Both teams are desperate for a late season win, so expect a competitive game on Monday. Oswego is 17-10 against Buffalo State all-time and will look to improve their record to 2-0 versus the Bengals in 2021. Face off is set for 4:00 p.m. at Laker Turf Stadium and WTOP 10 will be at the field for all the action.

Oswego State Softball picks up pair of wins in weekend doubleheader

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State softball team’s offense and pitching shined in their weekend doubleheader versus SUNY Potsdam. In the pair of weekend home games, the Lakers went on to defeat the Bears 13-3 in game one and 9-4 in game two. Oswego’s offense was on full display, scoring a combined 22 runs to earn their seventh and eighth wins on the year.

To begin game one, Potsdam got off to an early two-run lead only for Oswego to respond with a barrage of seven runs in the second. In that scoring run, Fiona Higgins hit a double to bring in Zoe Mennig for a run. Madison Hoeflich would then go on to hit a single to bring Higgins across home plate. Tai Smith’s double to left field brought in three more runs for the Lakers before Mennig returned the favor and brought Taylor Dubois home. Oswego continued their scoring onslaught in the third inning, putting three more runs on the board to take a 10-2 lead. Mattison Phinney, Samantha Morgan, and Smith all scored a run during that stretch. The Lakers struck again in the fourth inning after Maria Lutz brought one home and following a wild Potsdam pitch, Hoeflich ran in another one. Oswego led 13-2 heading into the fifth inning and with the large deficit, the Bears weren’t able to claw back. Although they scored a run in the fifth, the Lakers went on to win 13-3.

Game two started off much different with both teams failing to find any offense in the first inning. The Lakers would break the deadlock in the second inning after Phinney scored on a wild pitch. After both teams traded strikeouts in the third, Potsdam got on the board with two runs in the fourth inning. Oswego tied things up in the bottom of the fourth after Adriana Marini scored her first run of the afternoon. In the fifth inning, Dubois hit a double into center field to bring in Aleah Yaizzo and Smith. Following that, Mennig singled to right field and advanced Dubois for Oswego’s fifth run. Phinney closed out the inning with a single which helped Higgins and Mennig cross home plate. With the Lakers leading 7-2, Potsdam hit a two-run homer to decrease the deficit to three runs. In the bottom of the sixth, both Yaizzo and Dubois ran home to bring the game to 9-4. Oswego would hold on to their five-run lead by forcing Potsdam to a quick three-and-out, securing their second straight victory.

Oswego totaled 26 hits on the day with Higgins leading the team with six. The junior pitcher was great on the mound as well, finishing game two with 14 strikeouts. Smith continued her dominance in this series as she earned four hits and five RBI’s on the day. With Monday’s doubleheader versus SUNY Cobleskill being postponed, the next opportunity for the Lakers to continue their win-streak will be against Plattsburgh State on April 20. Game one is set for 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, with game two set to start at 3:00 p.m. at Laker Softball Field.
