With a  conference record of 6-1, the Lakers will be looking to win their last two games of the season. 

On Saturday, April 22, Oswego will be facing off against Oneonta. On Wednesday, April 26, the Lakers will travel to SUNY Cortland for their last regular season game of the year. Both of these games are very important to the Lakers standings in the SUNYACs. With Cortland as the No.1 seed and Oneonta in a playoff position, winning these last two games will be crucial for the Lakers postseason success.
