Devils edge Oswego, 1-0

FREDONIA, N.Y. -- A first-half goal by Fredonia State freshman Ryan O'Donnell (Orchard Park/Orchard Park) carried the Blue Devils to a 1-0 SUNYAC win over Oswego.

O'Donnell took a crossing pass from junior midfielder Rob Esposito (Dover Plains/Dover), settled the ball, and beat Oswego State junuior goalkeeper Shaun Sessa (Ronkonkoma) at 29:36.

Fredonia State junior goalkeeper Scott Bergen (Schenectady/Mohonasen) was required to make just two saves to post his fifth shutout of the season. In the process, he lowered his goals-against average to 1.01.

Sessa made 10 saves for Oswego.

The Blue Devils, who have yet to allow a goal in five SUNYAC games, improved to 5-0-0 in the conference and 8-4-1 overall. The loss dropped the Lakers to 2-2-1 in SUNYAC, 6-5-1 overall.

Fredonia State returns to SUNYAC action vs. Cortland at 1 p.m. Saturday on Brigham Road Field.
