ELMIRA, N.Y. – The Oswego State women's lacrosse team breezed past Elmira College 24-1 in a Sunday afternoon road tilt. Oswego improves to 3-1 on the year while the Soaring Eagles remain winless at 0-3.
In all three of their victories during the 2018 campaign, the Lakers have scored 15 or more goals in all three, including a season-high 24 on Sunday. Most impressively, 24 goals is the most the team has scored since a 28-3 victory against Cazenovia on April 13, 2010.
On Sunday, 10 players recorded a point, with eight having multiple-point performance. The leader of the pack was
Teresa Shattuck, tying one career-high and falling just short of another. Shattuck posted 12 points – which ties her career mark that was achieved twice in 2017 – off three goals and nine assists. The junior's assist total was also just one back of a career-best, set during her sophomore season as well.
Next were a pair of six-point efforts from senior
Gemma O'Kane and junior
Toni Laneve. O'Kane reached the figure with five scores and an assist while Laneve tallied each of her points in the goal column.
Sophomore
Montana Garrett and freshman
Riley Jaquin each had four-point efforts, getting to the total the same way. Each player found the back of the net three times and distributed an assist for their fourth points.
Freshman
Kamryn Sherman was the only Laker with three points, scoring once while helping on two other goals for Oswego.
Brigid Regin and
Riley LaCava rounded out the multiple-point scorers, with the former having a goal and an assist while the latter scored twice.
Nicole Polsinelli had one assist to close the Lakers' points on the day.
On the draw, Oswego doubled up Elmira, controlling 18 compared to the Soaring Eagles nine. Shattuck again paced the Lakers with a game-high six draws while Garrett had three and Regin had two. Jaquin, Laneve, LaCava,
Skylar Scioscia and
Madison Burlingame had one apiece.
Shattuck also had nearly half of the Lakers' seven caused turnovers, forcing three.
Zeina Akl turned Elmira over twice while Jaquin and Polsinelli had one apiece.
The defense was solid again for Oswego, as starting goalie
Angela Ponto picked up the win with seven saves and just one goal allowed for an .875 save percentage.
Elianna Sanchez relieved Ponto for the final 11:15 and made three saves of her own without surrendering a goal. One goal allowed by a Laker squad is the fewest since a 16-1 triumph against Wells College in Florida on March 19, 2007.
Oswego will now take the business week to prepare for sixth-ranked York College (Pa.), who comes to Laker Turf Stadium for a 12 p.m. draw on Saturday.
