2016-17 SEASON IN REVIEW The Oswego State women s hockey team finished 2016-17 with its fourth-straight winning season, posting a 16-8-2 record. Oswego also reached the ECAC West Championship for the seventhconsecutive year. Last season, the Lakers started off hot, opening the season with a 6-2 win over New England College to spark a six-game win streak. The win streak included a 6-0 win over Chatham during Alumni Weekend and two wins over ECAC West foe Cortland. The nation s top-ranked team Plattsburgh eventually gave the Lakers their first loss, but the Lakers handed the Cardinals a loss of their own the next day. The loss snapped the defending national champion s 13-game winning streak and its 24-game win streak at home. Oswego is returning some of their top talent from 2016-17. Olivia Ellis, who will be a senior, led the team in both points (36) and assists (22). Goaltender Mariah Madrigal will be be returning for her senior year as well. She had five shutouts during the season and a.925 save percentage. With the returning talent and a strong recruiting class, the Lakers are looking to build on their 2016-17 success. 4
