Bailey Waterbury of the Oswego State women’s soccer team has been named Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending October 13, 2013.
In a 1-1 week for the Lakers, Waterbury was instrumental in the 2-1 victory over Fredonia on Saturday afternoon.
After falling at home 1-0 to Buffalo State on Friday night, Waterbury helped Oswego comeback from an early 1-0 deficit to the Blue Devils at Laker Soccer Field on Senior Day.
During the 28th minute, the sophomore prevented a defensive clear by Fredonia, settling the ball just inside the box and pumping an unassisted goal past the keeper. The goal knotted the score at 1-1 just 17 minutes after the Blue Devils took the advantage.
Just over eight minutes later, Waterbury did what she does best, assisting on a teammate’s score. The Plattsburgh native found Tia Segretto at 36:50 as Segretto finished the connection with a goal. That goal would prevail as the game-winner as the teams played a scoreless second period.
Waterbury leads the team and the SUNYAC with six assists this season while Saturday’s goal was her first of the year.
Oswego will return to action at 3 p.m. on Friday when it continues conference play at The College at Brockport. The Lakers are currently 8-5 on the year and 3-3 in the SUNYAC which places them in fifth place with nine points.
