Oswego ice hockey heads to Hobart for NCAA first round
OSWEGO, N.Y. – The Oswego State men's ice hockey team, ranked in the top-10 nationally all year and sitting at No. 3/4 prior to Monday's new polls, will head to Hobart College for an NCAA Championship First Round game on Saturday in The Cooler. It will be the Lakers' sixth-straight appearance in the national tournament, all of which resulted with an appearance in the Frozen Four.
Â
Game time and tickets will be determined following a conference call on Tuesday. Information about those two topics will be made available on oswegolakers.com as well as the athletics department's Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Â
Oswego and Hobart have already met once this season, with the Lakers coming away with a 5-4 victory on Jan. 9 in the Marano Campus Center Arena. In that meeting, Oswego scored the game's first four goals before needing a Kenny Neil tally at 12:42 of the third period to secure the win.
Â
The Lakers also hold the all-time series over the Statesmen, lacing up against one another 42 times, with Oswego coming out with a 35-4-3 record.
Â
Both teams earned one of the three Pool-C at-large bids in this year tournament, as Oswego was the runner-up in the SUNYAC Championship while Hobart won the ECAC West crown, a conference that does not have enough schools to receive an automatic qualifier.Â
