NEW PALTZ, N.Y. – The Oswego State men's soccer team took a 1-1 double overtime tie at New Paltz on Saturday afternoon. With the stalemate, the Lakers are now 1-6-2 overall and 0-1-1 in conference action while the Hawks go to 3-5-1, 0-1-1.
 
New Paltz would strike first in the match with an opening period goal, but Oswego would answer in the second half. Tom Bartyzel was awarded a penalty kick at 63:14 and he capitalized on the opportunity, knocking in his first goal of the season to knot the game at 1-1.

In goal, Todd Lawson manned the Laker net for 110 minutes on Saturday, collecting three saves.
 
Oswego will be back in action at 3 p.m. on Friday when it hosts Potsdam as part of Alumni Weekend.
