Oswego State men’s lacrosse dominates to earn sixth straight win

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State men’s lacrosse team earned their sixth straight victory on Tuesday, defeating SUNY Potsdam 22-18. In the high scoring contest, Oswego had a total of 10 players record goals with seven of them having multiple.

Oswego got out of the gates early and within a minute of play, Corey O’Connor scored on an unassisted goal after the faceoff win. Potsdam responded with their first goal at the 12:36 mark and followed that up with another two goals just three minutes later. The Ryan-to-Ryan connection was on display once again as Ryan Eccles set up Ryan Dumont for a goal, bringing the deficit to within one. Shortly after, Gavin Elston picked up his 19th goal of the season to tie the game. From this point forward, the Lakers would begin to blow things open as they went on a six-goal scoring run to close the quarter up 9-3. 28 seconds into the second quarter, O’Connor found the back of the net for another Laker goal. A minute later, Max Brodman scored his fifth goal of the season to extend the lead to 11-3. Elston went on to score once more before Potsdam responded with a goal to make the score 12-4. After some back-and-forth scoring runs by both teams, the Lakers went into halftime leading 17-7.

Potsdam started to creep back into the game throughout the third quarter. After a tremendous defensive performance, the Bears held Oswego scoreless throughout the frame, halting their otherwise impressive scoring run. Potsdam put in five unanswered goals to bring the game to 17-12 heading into the final 15 minutes. Just 45 seconds into the quarter, Potsdam extended their scoring run. Though, Tyler Stevenson got the Lakers back on the board to push their lead to 18-13. Much like Gavin Elston did earlier in the contest, Weston Gray tallied his 19th goal of the year to make it 19-13. Both teams continued to put points up on the board with Oswego leading 21-17 with two minutes remaining in regulation. Over the final few runs, Eccles scored the dagger for the Lakers 22nd goal of the game. Potsdam scored another goal, but Oswego held strong defensively and went on to win 22-18.

The Lakers were dominant in the faceoff and ground ball battles, winning them 33-8 and 44-26 respectively. Though, Oswego were prone to mistakes throughout the ballgame as they totaled 23 turnovers. Coach Eccles’ offense was explosive once again as he saw Corey O’Connor (4), Liam Sexton (4), and Gavin Elston (3) all have hat-tricks. Although the team made some mistakes, they were able to come away with a hard-fought victory against a tough Potsdam squad. Oswego will have the opportunity to extend their win streak to seven as the take on New Paltz on Saturday for the first time in program history. Faceoff is set for 3:00 p.m. at Laker Turf Stadium.
