HOW IT HAPPENED
Cortland proved to be a difficult challenge for the Lakers this afternoon. In the first quarter, Oswego was not able to get anything going on offense. Sam Krautheim made 4 saves in goal, but the Red Dragons knocked in two goals to take a 2-0 lead. In the second, the Cortland offense continued to find success adding two more goals and securing a 4-0 lead before halftime.

The second half was much of the same for both SUNYAC teams. The Lakers did not take a penalty corner until the fourth quarter where they were able to take 3. Unfortunately, the Lakers could not capitalize and ended up suffering a defeat in their first conference game of the season, 8-0. The two Oswego goalies Foer and Krautheim finished with 20 combined saves.
