The Oswego State women's soccer team's 2018 campaign came to a close with a double-overtime loss to Hamilton College on Tuesday afternoon.
Despite the game featuring five goals, only two players between the squads found their ways into the scoring column.
THE BASICS
- Result: Hamilton 3, Oswego 2 (2OT)
- Location: Laker Soccer Field – Oswego, N.Y.
- Records: Hamilton (8-4-3) | Oswego (6-8-3)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Oswego's Lynsey Roth and Hamilton's Cat Gambino combined for the tilt's five tallies, with Roth notching two and Gambino posting a hat trick.
- Roth's pair of goals placed her atop the team's leaderboard in both points (15) and goals (7) to end the season, surpassing Mackenzie Schaffner (13, 6) in both categories.
- The sophomore's goals were crucial, as they erased a two-goal, halftime deficit.
- At 56:28, Audrey Burbidge sent a corner kick into the box where senior classmate Chloe Lonergan headed the ball.
- Roth was able to tap Lonergan's header through the keeper's legs to cut the Continental's advantage to one.
- Less than 10 minutes later, Roth dribbled past two defenders and ripped a left-footed shot into the upper right 90, out of the reach of Hamilton's diving keeper, knotting the contest.
- Neither team was able to score in the final 25 minutes of regulation or the first overtime period, but Gambino was able to settle a ball in the box in the 104th minute to steal the victory.
- Emma Allen made five saves between the pipes for Oswego.
WHAT'S NEXT
The Lakers finish 2018 with a 6-8-3 mark overall and a 2-5-2 record in the SUNYAC. Oswego will return 18 players to its roster in 2019.
