Women’s soccer falls short in SUNYAC semifinals

Logan Weingartner and Cameron Shutts November 6, 2026 2 min read In their best postseason finish since 2023, the No. 5 Oswego State women’s soccer team fell to No. 1 SUNY Cortland, 3-1, on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Oswego rode into the playoffs with shutouts in each of their final three regular season games, before taking down SUNY Potsdam with ease in the first round. In a back-and-forth matchup with SUNY Oneonta in round two, the Lakers emerged victorious, 3-2, before falling to a strong Cortland side to end their season. Against the Red Dragons of Oneonta, Liliana De Collibus knotted it up at one goal apiece as she scored on a header from Kyla Sustad’s corner kick. De Collibus and the Lakers continued to control offensive momentum, firing five corner kicks and seven shots – one on target – before intermission struck.
