Oswego State women’s lacrosse falls to Utica in overtime

By Luke Rosenthal — 5 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State women’s lacrosse team was defeated in their home-opener Saturday, falling to Utica in a 11-10 overtime contest. Despite a valiant comeback, the Pioneers capitalized on a controversial ricochet goal to drop the Lakers to 0-3.

Both teams traded early goals to begin the opening quarter. Julia Quirk put the Lakers up 1-0 just 44 seconds into the game, but that lead didn’t last long. 25 seconds later, the Pioneers answered with their first goal which tied the game at one apiece. After some back-and-forth play, Utica netted four goals within four minutes to give them a 5-1 lead. Before the frame ended, Sela Wiley kept her hot streak going and scored her first goal of the game. To begin the second quarter, Oswego scored back-to-back goals courtesy of Quirk and Madison Davis. Though, to close out the quarter, Utica added three more goals to take a 8-4 lead going into halftime.

Three minutes into the second half, Quirk put in her third goal of the contest which brought the deficit to three. Seven minutes later, Shae McConnell netted another goal on a free position shot. Shortly after on a woman-down possession, Utica scored again to make it 9-6. With two minutes remaining in the stanza, McConnell added another free position goal to bring the deficit to two heading into final period. Needing a strong finish to comeback in the game, the Lakers provided in the clutch. The first 13 minutes of the quarter saw Madison Davis tally her second goal of the afternoon and Shae McConnell put in another two goals. However, with 1:52 remaining in regulations, the Pioneers cashed in on a free position goal to tie the game 10-10. Neither team would score from there on out, which brought the game to overtime. The Lakers won the initial draw control behind Julia Quirk, but their shot went wide and Utica gained possession. With a player off due to penalty, the Pioneers hit the game-winner off a clear attempt. Although the shot would be discussed at volume by the officials due to Utica having seven players in the offensive zone, the away team was awarded the goal, ending the game.

Oswego saw six players total points in the contest including McConnell (6), Quirk (3), Davis (2), Wiley (2), Logan Castiglione (1), and Madison Green (1). With this loss, Oswego State drops to 0-3 to start the season despite a fierce offensive prowess. With their first win of the season still ahead of them, the Lakers will have the opportunity to get it as they take on St. Lawrence on Tuesday, March 8. Face-off is set for 4:00 p.m. at Canton.

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.
