Overtime for Lady Bucs

After nearly the entire first half of the season at home the Lady Bucs hockey team took a road trip to Alexandria Bay on Monday night and fought back for a 5-4 overtime victory.

Oswego had a 2-0 lead after one, but A-Bay scored three quick goals at the start of the second to take a 3-2 advantage.  However, Oswego fought back with a goal late in the second to send the teams into the third period tied at 3-3.

Coach Dan Bartlett said, “In the third we badly misplayed a puck in front of our own net while on a power play and it directly led to an A-Bay goal and we were down 4-3.”

The count remained that way until late in the third. Bartlett said, “With three minutes to go I pulled Maddie Whalen (goalie) and put Ali Yule in thus gaining a two minute time out. We scored 19 seconds later when Karissa Favata rammed home a Taylar Cianfarano rebound and it sent us to overtime.”

In overtime Devyn Hutcheson was stopped on a breakaway and the puck went to the corner where Cianfarano dug it out, skated around two defended and buried the shot for the Oswego win.”

Bartlett said, “It was a good road win and this was the first time this year we had to play from behind to get a win. This should serve us well down the road.”
