Oswego State women’s basketball falls short heading into holiday break
OSWEGO N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s basketball team Saturday suffered an unfortunate 59-48 loss to the Fredonia Blue Devils. The Lakers stayed in it until the very end where Fredonia went on a nine point run to end the game, ultimately giving the Blue Devils the victory.

Freshman Shania Iglesias was the lead scorer for the Lakers dropping an impressive seventeen points with two three pointers and nine rebounds. Right behind Iglesias was senior Danielle Caivana with twelve points. Despite this tough loss, the Lakers have to find a way to start clicking and picking up some wins.
