Friday night was, as it usually is in games betwwen Buffalo State and Oswego, a low scoring game, which Oswego was able to skate away with a 3-0. Melissa Seamont scored the only goal of the opening period, her 6th of the year, at the 18:22 mark. Oswego kept control of the play through the 2nd period, and at the 15:47 mark of the 2nd, Mady Paul scored her 6th of the season. The goal was important for two reasons, one it gave the Lakers a 2-0 lead and two the 2nd assist on the play went to Bianca Camillaci, her first collegiate point. Once the 3rd period got underway, the Bengals began to press more on the attack trying to get on the board. Oswego would have none of it and at the 19:52 mark Mady Paul scored an empty net powerplay goal, her 2nd of the game and 7th on the year, to cap off the 3-0 Oswego victory.
Jordan Lee took the loss in net for Buffalo State, dropping her record to 5-10-1, making 29 saves in the loss. Bridget Smith picked up the win, improving her record to 7-5-1, making 18 saves in the shutout win. Smith shutout was her 2nd one this year. Oswego went 1 for 9 on the powerplay while Buffalo state went 0 for 2 with the man advantage. Mady Paul (two goals) and Melissa Seamont (goal two assists) had the big days on offense, while Bianca Camillaci chipped in her first ever point in college.
The next day, these same two teams met again in Oswego, and the result was much the same as the day before, as Oswego came away with a 2-0 victory. Unlike the Friday game, Saturday's tilt wa much more physical, as both teams made plenty of trips to the penalty box. Nobody was able to find the back of the net in the opening period, but it took only 3:28 of the 2nd before Melissa Seamont scored her 7th goal of the year. And for the 2nd straight day, Bianca Camillaci picked up an assist. Leslie Jarvis had the primary helper on the Seamont goal. So Oswego held a 1-0 lead into the 3rd period, and that's when the physical and chippy play really started to pick up. The only goal scored in the 3rd period came off the stick of Megan Hagg, who scored her 5th of the year on a breakaway at the 19:56 mark. Of note in that 3rd period a total of eight penalties were called, and three of them came at a scrum at the final horn. After things finally calmed down, Oswego had walked away with a 2-0 victory.
Jordan Lee again took the loss for Buffalo State, dropping her record to 5-11-1, in which she made 25 saves in the loss. Bridget Smith again got the victory for Oswego, improving her record to 8-5-1, in which she made 18 saves in the shutout, her third of the year. Melissa Seamont, Megan Hagg, Olivia Boersen, Bianca Camillaci, and Leslie Jarvis (two assists) all picked up points for the Lakers.
With the weekend sweep, Oswego improves their record overall to 9-8-1 and 8-4-0 in ECAC West play. Melissa Seamont and Mady Paul are now tied for the team lead in goals with seven each. Seamont continues to lead the team in assists, with 13, and points, with 20. Up next for Oswego is another weekend home series. This time Stevenson College is the opponent. The two teams will meet at the Campus center Ice Arena Saturday January 26th and Sunday January 27th, both games scheduled for a 3PM puckdrop!
