Oswego Men’s Lacrosse: Season Debut Delayed
OSWEGO, NY — The Oswego State Men’s Lacrosse Team hasn’t played a game since March 10th of last year. Unfortunately, the Lakers will have to wait a bit longer to play their first game of the 2021 season. Oswego was originally scheduled to begin their season at home vs. SUNY Morrisville on March 17th, but due to a positive coronavirus case on the opposing team, the game was cancelled. Oswego was then scheduled to play SUNY Oneonta on March 20th, however the game was postponed earlier on Friday due to a positive case on the Lakers team.
This is now the second time in one week the Lakers will have their game either postponed or cancelled. The next scheduled game for Oswego is March 26th vs Geneseo. This was unfortunate for the Lakers as the game vs. Geneseo is the first of six scheduled SUNYAC games, meaning Oswego will have played zero games before conference play begins. If this happens, Oswego will be the only team in their division to not play a game before conference play starts. The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse Team last played Geneseo on April 20th, 2019, in a 13-14 home loss.

Oswego women’s soccer secures SUNYAC playoff spot
NEW PALTZ, N.Y. – The Oswego State Women’s Soccer team faced off against the New Paltz Hawks on Saturday afternoon. This game was an important one for the Lakers as they were looking to get into one of the last SUNYAC playoff spots. Oswego would take control to start the first half of the matchup in what was a relatively quiet half of play. That was until Amber Mcdermott Scored first for the Lakers, unassisted at the 29:02 mark to give the Lakers a 1-0 lead. The Lakers held the advantage in the first half beating New Paltz in shots 5-2 and would take a 1-0 lead after one half of play.
In the second half we saw a momentum switch where New Paltz took over. Shortly into the second half, New Paltz would tie the match at 1 from a goal by Gaby Treble at the 48:56 mark. The Hawks would eventually take the lead over the Lakers halfway through the second half from Addison Weiner at the 69:10 mark to take a 2-1 lead over the Lakers. But the Lakers fought back to tie it as graduate transfer Graisa Madde would score the match’s final point, tying the game at 2 with just over 12 minutes remaining in the contest. Both teams could get nothing past the goalkeepers for the rest of the game and it would end in a 2-2 tie in Oswego’s last regular season game.
The Lakers finished their season with a record of 8-5-4, and a conference record of 3-3-3. The Lakers will now turn their focus to the playoffs as they will be the fifth seed.
