OSWEGO, N.Y. – A one-goal semifinal loss ended last season for the SUNY Oswego women's ice hockey team. Head coach Mark Digby, entering his sixth season, and the Lakers begin their response Oct. 30 at Arcadia.

Oswego went 14-10-2 in 2025-26 and earned the No. 2 seed in the SUNYAC Tournament before Cortland edged the Lakers, 2-1, in the semifinals at the Deborah F. Stanley Arena and Convocation Hall. Oswego outshot the Red Dragons 10-2 in the third period but could not find the equalizer. A year earlier, the Lakers went 22-3-2 and reached the SUNYAC championship game, and Digby's staff was named the 2025 SUNYAC Coaching Staff of the Year.

Key Returners

Senior forward Jenna Majewski (Peoria, Ariz./UMass Boston) returns after earning second-team All-SUNYAC honors. She scored 8 goals with 5 assists, tied for ninth in the conference in goals.

Sophomore forward Georgia Cunliffe (Millgrove, Ont.) was named to the SUNYAC All-Rookie Team after an 8-goal, 8-assist debut season. She scored twice in her first three college games and won 51.2 percent of her faceoffs.

In goal, Junior Mia Devivo returns after starting for the Lakers in the SUNYAC semifinal.
