After the conclusion of the fall athletic seasons, SUNY Athletic Conference commissioner Patrick Damore released the annual all-conference awards for men’s soccer, women’s soccer and field hockey.

A half dozen Oswego State student-athletes received recognition.  Felipe Cavalcanti ’10 was named to the men’s soccer All-SUNYAC Second Team, while Chris Carra ’10 and Bryan Pacchiana ’12 were named to the third team.  In field hockey, Brittany Roetzer ’11 was selected to the All-SUNYAC First Team and Michelle Racioppo ’10 was chosen for the second team.  Michelle Bateman ’13 was recognized on the Women’s Soccer All-SUNYAC Third Team.

Cavalcanti led the Lakers in scoring with six goals for 12 points in 15 games this season.  The co-captain was named to the All-SUNYAC Third Team in 2008.  Fellow captain Carra, a midfielder, started in all 17 games, recording four points on one goal and two assists.  Pacchiana was a constant for the defensive unit, as he started every game this season as a defender.

Field hockey forward Roetzer started in each of the 14 games she appeared in this season for the Lakers.  She was the squad’s second-leading scorer with 14 points on six goals and two assists.  Three-year captain Racioppo, who started in 13 games, was a pivotal player in the Oswego State transition and helped anchor a defense that allowed 31 goals.

Bateman led the Laker women’s soccer team in scoring this season with 37 points on 16 goals, including five game-winning scores and five assists.  Her 16 goals tied for fifth place on the single-season goals list while her 37 points ranked sixth on the single-season points list.  In conference play, Bateman tallied five goals and two assists.
