OSWEGO, N.Y. - The Oswego State men's soccer team used a second half score on a penalty kick from senior Caleb Asamoah to defeat Brockport 1-0 at home to conclude Alumni Weekend.  Oswego's goal was Asamoah's team-leading seventh of the season and helped the Lakers move to 2-0 to start conference play for the first time since 2006. The victory was also the first for Oswego over Brockport on its home field since 2000. 

THE BASICS

• Final Score:  Oswego 1, Brockport 0
• Location:  Laker Turf Field - Oswego, N.Y.
• Records:  Oswego 7-3-0 (2-0-0 SUNYAC) | Brockport 5-4-1 (0-2-0 SUNYAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Asamoah goal was set up on some great passing by the Lakers early in the second half.
• After Young was freed up down the left side on a pass from Asamoah, he slid a pass in to sophomore Steven Rojas.
• Rojas made a cut inside and gained a step on his defender before being tripped from behind for the penalty.
• Early on, Brockport peppered Laker goalie Brian Terra with three shots on-goal in the first 15 minutes of action, but Terra handled each.
• Oswego got the best chance of the half at 19:35 when Asamoah cut through the defense on the right side and slid a ball to the middle of the field for Omar Espinoza. The sophomore midfielder ripped a shot heading just under the crossbar that Brockport goalie Tautis Poniskaitis managed to tap just over the crossbar.
• Terra was challenged at the 40-minute mark when Brockport released an attacker down the left side who got off a strong shot on-goal, forcing the save.
• Sophomore Slater Bushen had the last chance of the half when he got free down the left side of the Brockport defense and snuck a shot on goal at 43:33.
• The teams were even at shots with eight at the half, with Brockport holding a 4-2 edge in corner kicks.
• After the Laker goal, the teams traded possession until the final 10 minutes when Brockport started to play with some urgency.
• The Golden Eagles took a pair of shots wide with under six minutes remaining and got arguably their best chance of the game when a back heel pass looped over the Laker defense just inside the right edge of the box and fell to Brockport's Zach Langelotti.
• Lengelotti ripped a shot on goal that Terra sent over the top of the crossbar.
• Brockport had five corners in the last five minutes, but the Laker defense held strong each time, recording their third-straight shutout and fifth of the season.
• Terra made seven saves in the contest to reach double digits for shutouts in his career (10).
