The Oswego State men’s soccer team faltered 3-0 at New Paltz in the opening game of the SUNYAC schedule on Friday afternoon. With the loss, the Lakers are 3-5-0 on the year while the Hawks remain without a defeat at 4-0-4.
Oswego was able to put two shots on-goal against New Paltz, with Paul Kwoyelo and Connor Lunduski each registering one, but both were stopped by the Hawk keeper. Those attempts came just minutes after the Hawks tallied the contest’s first goal, as the Lakers applied pressure in trying to knot the game.
The game would stay a one-goal margin for most of the way, with Oswego’s defense holding New Paltz at bay until the final 10 minutes. At 81:44, the Hawks added an insurance goal and some breathing room before tacking on their final notch at 86:03.
Sophomore Evan Bogucki made two saves for the Lakers between the pipes.
Oswego will head back out to the pitch at 1 p.m. on Saturday when it faces hosts Oneonta in another conference tilt.
