Ellis Notches 100th Point in Loss
The Oswego State women’s ice hockey team fell to their rival, Plattsburgh, by a final score of 6-2 on Friday night. With the loss, the Lakers drop to 8-11-1 overall and 4-7-0 in NEWHL play. The Cardinals move to 17-2-1 on the season and remain a perfect 11-0 in the conference.
It would not take long for Plattsburgh to get the scoring action started as Kayla Meneghin sent one into the back of the net just three minutes into the game. The Lakers would respond as their top two leaders in assists, Kate Randazzo and Olivia Ellis, fed Julieann White the puck for the power play goal to tie it up at one. The rest of the first period would be dominated by Cardinal scores as Plattsburgh put up four unanswered to take the lead 5-1.
In the third period, Oswego’s captain Ellis, made history as she joined the school’s 100 point club with her second assist of the night. She is the program’s leader for career points as well as goals (39) and assists (61). This also marked the fifth game of the season where the captain has accumulated multiple points.
The Lakers and Cardinals will face off for the final time this season at Saturday with puck drop scheduled at 3 pm.

Port City Co-Op Antique Store
by Sabina Longo, WTOP10-TV
Port City Co-Op is an antique store that is hidden on West Second Street in downtown Oswego. The store celebrated its two year anniversary on Tuesday, November 1. Linda Demassi had the idea to open up Port City Co-Op and help bring more local businesses to Oswego.
Originally the store opened with ten vendors but now there are 37. With more vendors selling their items, the store needed to be expanded and that is when the owners of Port-City bought out the soap store that is located nextdoor.
Antiques and unique items are not the only reason why people shop here. Mary Waite is a regular at Port City and says she loves all the different items because it brings back nostalgic memories. It reminds her of her childhood.
Linda Demassi encourages people to shop local because, “it’s huge to shop local, for the economy, the city. Shopping local is huge to keep the small businesses”
Port City Co-Op is opened on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 5pm, Thursday to Friday from 11am to 6pm, Saturday from 11am to 5pm and Sunday from 11am to 3pm.
