The Oswego State women's soccer team was officially eliminated from the playoff race as it fell 3-1 at home to Geneseo on Saturday afternoon. The Lakers dropped to 1-6 in conference play and 6-9 overall while the Blue Knights improved to 3-4 in the SUNYAC and 9-5 overall. 

Geneseo mounted an early lead in the 17th minute when Emily Novak corralled a loose ball in the center of the field. She threaded a through ball up the middle to Kelly Bergin who finished past the outstretched fingertips of Laker goalkeeper Toby Klein. Olivia Panepinto increased the Blue Knights' lead in the 26th minute when she controlled a loose ball and flicked it over Klein into the top of the net, resulting in the 2-0  halftime lead.

The Blue Knights continued to pour on the attack in the 51st minute when Ashley Keogh played a free kick into traffic in the middle of the box. Anne Beinetti tapped a pass to Bre Glynn who converted into the empty net for a decisive 3-0 Geneseo lead.

The Lakers were unable to mount much of an attack throughout the game, but finally cashed in in the 88th minute when Allegra Uva fed Alexa Krebs for a one-timer into the open net. Klein finished with five saves in net for Oswego State, and Katie Clerkin made three stops for Geneseo.

The top six teams make the conference playoffs and the Lakers currently sit in ninth place, two games out of the playoff picture with as many games to play. Even with two wins next weekend the head-to-head loss with Geneseo Saturday leaves Oswego State out of the playoffs. The Lakers play the role of spoiler as they host New Paltz Friday at 3 p.m.
