Thirty-Three Turnovers Doom Women's Hoops in Loss

When a team's rebounding total mirrors their number of turnovers, the outcome will tend to favor the opposition. That's exactly what happened last night at the Max Ziel Gymnasium as the Oswego State woen's basketball team coughed the ball up 33 times. St. Lawrence College took full advantage, pulling away with a 62-49 win on the road to send the Lakers to their fifth loss in seven games.

Oswego State made just six field goals in the second half and the trio of Rachel Kohrs, Tricia Sullivan and Heather Merino shot a combined 0-for-11 from the field on the night. Despite the shooting woes, the Lakers were able to put two players in double figures. Guard Traci Bacon poured in 16 points while forward Colleen McReady tallied 11 points.

The Lakers saw their record fall to 4-5 while the Saints improved their mark to 6-2. Oswego State looks to snap a three-game losing streak tomorrow night when they visit Clarkson for a 6 p.m. tip-off.
