The Oswego Alumni Association will welcome six former players to the hall during a luncheon in the Sheldon Hall ballroom. The baseball, basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, wrestling and men’s lacrosse programs will all be represented at this year’s event. “Obviously, our sports programs wouldn’t be what they are today without the incredible contributions of our alumni athletes,” said Betsy Oberst, associate vice president for alumni relations and stewardship. “Our Lakers are such a big part of the Oswego legacy the alumni association is here to preserve and promote.” This year's inductees: * John Canale’47, M’50 was a three-sport athlete at Oswego, earning distinction in baseball, basketball and soccer as a player/manager. * Former baseball MVP John Wynne ’66 was inducted into the Oswego Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986. The two-time all-conference pitcher set school records in wins and overall record during his Laker career. * Former wrestler Ralph Pizzo ’71 was an NCAA Division II All-American in 1970, the same year he was named SUNY Athletic Conference champion in his weight class. * Greg Peel ’94 was named an NCAA All-American in 1994, the second lacrosse player in Oswego history to earn the honor. He played defense on the first Laker lacrosse team to earn a national ranking and was captain on the first league championship team. * Dan Bartlett ’96 was captain of the 1996 Laker lacrosse team that posted a program-best 12-3 record and won the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championship. The 1995 Empire Lacrosse League Player of the Year later served as a Laker assistant coach. * One-time women’s soccer career points and goals leader Melisa “Missy” Verdoliva ’99 was a four-year All-SUNYAC first team selection as a Laker. She is currently second all-time points and goals leader. Reservations for the luncheon are required by Oct. 16. -- Shane M.
