Panthers' upset bid turned away
For four quarters, the Oswego defense dictated the tone of Friday

Down the stretch they come
It's been awhile, but the Western Sun Conference is a horse race this year -- and Friday's game at Kaneland is the start of an exciting home stretch. Not since 2006 has the conference been this close this late in the year, and not coincidentally, that was also the last time Geneva had lost in WSC play.
