How it Happened
Doubles play for the Lakers tonight did not start out favorably, with the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 duos collectively being swept by the Gaels. Oswego faced stiff opposition from the Division I team as they were unable to secure any momentum, and exited doubles play scoreless.
 
In singles play, the struggles continued. The Lakers were unable to pierce the Gaels' defense and remained scoreless through the evening. No. 1 Cole Lyons and No. 5 Duncan Baker were able to secure 2 points in each of their first sets but couldn't gain any momentum to push their matches to 3 sets.
 
What's Next
The Lakers will get an extended break before returning to the courts on Saturday, March 6th, to face off against Norwich University at 1:00 PM.
