Oswego State field hockey (1-5, 1-0) is unbeaten in SUNYAC play following Saturday's 2-0 victory over Morrisville (0-4, 0-1). The Lakers will battle nationally-ranked Cortland (5-1, 0-0) Wednesday as they try to ruin the Red Dragons' conference opener. This year's meeting marks the 8th annual "Dragon Sword Battle." A three-foot long samurai sword was donated in 2000 by Oswego State alumni as a prize for the winner of the Cortland-Oswego State game. The Dragons won the inaugural battle that year and have yet to relinquish the prize.
Cortland lost their 2007 season-opener at nationally-ranked Johns Hopkins 4-2 before defeating Rhodes, Rochester, Houghton and Hartwick by combined scores of 19-1. Despite losing to Johns Hopkins (#12) to start the season, the NFHCA member coaches still have Cortland (#6) ranked ahead of the undefeated Blue Jays. The Red Dragons defeated Hamilton 3-1 on Saturday, a team which the Lakers lost to by a score of 10-2 last Wednesday.
