The Oswego State women's ice hockey team controlled the contest, but came away with a 1-1 tie to Cortland Friday night in Cortland. The Lakers outshot the Red Dragons by a margin of 35-21, including 20 shots in the second period. Oswego State moved to 1-2-2 overall and 0-1-2 in the ECAC West, while Cortland went to 0-3-1 on the season and 0-2-1 in the league.

 

After a scoreless first period, Oswego State lit the lamp early in the second stanza when Kelly Collins found Mackenzie Lee for her third goal of the season at the 1:30 mark. The remainder of the period was played out with both squads having three power-play opportunities each, but the Lakers controlled the tempo with 20 shots on goal.

 

An Oswego State tripping penalty during the early stages of the third period allowed the Red Dragons to even the score at 1-1 when Taylor Puckhaber got the puck past Laker goalie Emi Williams at the 2:13 mark. Cortland took a body checking later in the frame, but Oswego State was unable to capitalize with the skater advantage. The Lakers dominated the regulation period, however, both squads eventually skated to the 1-1 tie.

 

Williams tallied 20 saves on 21 shots, while Sarah Sitcov recorded 34 saves on 35 shots on goal. Both squads take to the ice again Saturday at 7 p.m.
