Seamont and Fisher named Oswego State Athletes of the Week

     Melissa Seamont (North Bay, Ontario), a junior on the women's ice hockey team, and Blake Fisher (Seaford, N.Y.), a senior on the wrestling team, have been named Oswego State Athletes of the Week for the week ending Jan. 20.      Seamont made her mark in this past weekend's series against Buffalo State with two game-winning goals. She scored Friday's first goal late in the first period and assisted the next two goals in a 3-0 win. On Saturday, Seamont netted the first goal again early in the second period, as Oswego State held on for the 2-0 victory. She is now tied for the team lead in goals at seven and paces the squad in points with 20, which is seven points better than the next player.
     Fisher won the Empire Collegiate Wrestling Conference Championship at 165 pounds to help the Oswego State wrestling team finish seventh out of eight teams after earning 72 points on Saturday. Fisher capped off his 3-0 day with an 8-5 win in the championship bout over Oneonta's Shaun Gillen. He started the day with a 6-1 win over Tyler Brooks-Lambert of RIT followed by a 3-1 sudden victory decision against Lycoming's Greg Wetzel to advance to the championship bout. Fisher became the first Laker wrestler to earn an ECWC individual championship since 2006 and the first wrestler to earn a title at 165 pounds since Noah Seitel won back-to-back titles in 2001 and 2002.
