Oct. 14—OSWEGO — The Oswego State University volleyball team will host SUNY Poly at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Max Ziel Gymnasium, aiming to rebound after recently having its best win streak in nearly three decades snapped.

The Lakers (15-8 overall, 4-2 SUNYAC) are coming off a 10-day layoff following back-to-back losses against Geneseo and Brockport for their first conference setbacks of the season.

Oswego had won its previous 11 matches, which marked the fourth longest streak in program history, according to records on the team website. It was the most consecutive wins for the program since capturing 12 straight in 1993.

Oswego entered the week ranked fourth in the SUNYAC standings and on pace to secure a playoff berth with the regular season slated to end on Oct. 29.

Lakers sophomore Cara Simplicio opened the week ranked fourth in the league for kills (192), total points (227) and sixth in total attacks (492).

Senior McKenna Corbin leads the conference in total assists (534) and ranks fourth in service aces (40), while junior Grace Taylor is second with 61 total blocks.
