Canton, NY – Freshman Bailey Cote scored a third period goal and classmate Alyssa Townsley made 25 saves but the SUNY Canton women's hockey dropped a close 2-1 decision to #7 Oswego State on Saturday afternoon.  After the game, the team celebrated Senior Day by honoring Kamryn Barnes with an on-ice ceremony.

• Location: Terry Martin Arena – Canton, NY
• Records:  SUNY Oswego (18-2-1, 12-1-1 SUNYAC) | SUNY Canton (6-13-2, 4-9-1 SUNYAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Lakers scored two first period goals off the sticks of Leah Coley and Jenna Majewski to take an early 2-0 lead through one.
• After a scoreless second period, Cote got the Roos back within one, picking up a loose puck on a rebound and depositing it past goaltender Lexi Levy.  The goal was scored at 7:40 and was assisted by Barnes and freshman Taryn Oloriz.
• Canton pulled Townsely with under two minutes to play in the game and almost tied the game with the extra attacker on an Anna Pavlasova shot.  The rebound kicked just wide but the Roos couldn't convert on the play.  Oswego would close out the game for the 2-1 victory.
