The Oswego State women's basketball team suffered its first loss of the season at Alfred State College on Saturday afternoon.
Oswego owned a two-point lead at the break but a Pioneers surge in the second half undid the Lakers.
THE BASICS
- Result: Alfred State 70, Oswego 64
- Location: Orvis Activities Center – Alfred, N.Y.
