Troy Crevier (Webster, N.Y.), a freshman on the men's lacrosse team, and Alexis Nasca (Hamburg, N.Y.), a freshman on the softball team, have
been named the Oswego State Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 31.
Crevier was a key factor in the Lakers 10-9 come-from-behind victory over Brockport on Saturday. With Oswego State trailing by one and 90 seconds remaining in the game, Crevier won a faceoff that led to the Lakers tying the score with 25 seconds remaining. He won the ensuing faceoff and groundball that led to Oswego State scoring the game-winner 12 seconds later. He finished the game 14-of-22 on faceoffs against the fifth-best faceoff midfielder in Division III, posted nine groundballs and scored a goal. In the Lakers' 6-5 overtime loss to then 15th-ranked Ithaca, Crevier went 10-for-15 on faceoffs to go along with three groundballs. Crevier started last week as the fourth-best faceoff midfielder in Division III at 72.7 percent.
Nasca pitched 6.2 shutout innings against Cortland in a 4-2 win over the Red Dragons in the opening game of a doubleheader on Saturday. The freshman took over in the circle after Cortland recorded two runs and only one out in the first inning and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam by inducing a double-play. Nasca allowed just four hits, while striking out one and walking two batters. The triumph over the Red Dragons snapped a 36-game losing streak and marked the Lakers first victory over Cortland since April 25, 1987.
