OSWEGO, NY – One thing has been certain this year in Max Ziel Gymnasium. That thing is the utter dominance of the Oswego State Lakers’ on the court. The Lakers took down the No.2 and No.3 teams in the SUNYAC this weekend. They romped the Oneonta Red Dragons by a final score of 86-58, and proceeded to clip the New Paltz Hawks’ wings in an 82-53 rout.
Dragon Slaying, Part 2
After the Women’s team took down the Dragons 49-46 earlier in the Max Ziel gymnasium, the Lakers looked to do the same. It wouldn’t end up nearly as close to the earlier game, however, as the Lakers slayed the dragon and had a celebratory feast on the court in an 86-58 domination of the Dragons.
Jeremiah Sparks led the Lakers with 20 points, going 8/15 in field goals while contributing 6 rebounds. Christian Simmons had a big day, scoring 16 points in just 13 minutes. Devin Green brought down 9 defensive rebounds, while going 4/6 from the field. The team as a whole put up 47 rebounds overall in a stout performance at both ends of the court.
Dylan Trombley led the Red Dragons effort with 10 points on the day in a score-by-committee stats sheet from Oneonta. Sean Nolan grabbed 10 rebounds with and went 2/2 on free throws for the Dragons
