Oswego State Draws Bowdoin in Quarterfinals of Division III Hockey Tournament

Oswego State is one victory away from a trip to the 2010 NCAA Frozen Four in Lake Placid.

The Division III Men's Ice Hockey selection committee gave the SUNYAC Champions a bye into the quarterfinals of the 2010 NCAA tournament.  The Lakers will host NESCAC tournament runner-up Bowdoin on Saturday night at the Campus Center.  The Polar Bears won eight straight games to finish their season before dropping Sunday's NESCAC championship at Middlebury by a score of 3-2.

Only four "western" schools were invited to this season's dance, three of whom were guaranteed a spot after they won their conference tournament.  All four will have to take the ice in Wednesday night's play-in round.
