SEMIFINAL MATCHUP… Third-seeded Cortland will take on second-seeded Oswego in the semifinals of the SUNYAC Tournament on Friday afternoon, hosted at the Lane-Starke Tennis Center in Binghamton, NY. In Friday's other semifinal, top-seeded New Paltz will face fourth-seeded Plattsburgh. 

The Red Dragons enter the conference tournament with a 6-6 overall record (3-2 SUNYAC), while Oswego sports a 7-1 record (4-1 SUNYAC).

Cortland is 15-5 against Oswego in 20 matches dating back to 2007, but the last eight meetings of the sides have been evenly split at four apiece. Oswego has also been victorious in each of the past three matchups over the past two seasons. 
 
The teams will be meeting in the SUNYAC Tournament for the second straight season, when Oswego came away with a 4-1 victory in the semifinals, with the Lakers and Red Dragons also entering the tournament as the second and third seeds, respectively. 
 
Including this year, the Red Dragons have now reached the SUNYAC Tournament in each of the past five seasons. Cortland is looking for its eighth SUNYAC title, and first since 2005. 
 
Oswego is in search of its first conference title all-time and is making its second consecutive tournament appearance after reaching the championship game in the spring of 2025. The conference adjusted its operating code to conduct the conference championship in the fall beginning this season, as opposed to competing the championship in the spring as in the past five years. 

LAST TIME WE MET… Cortland battled in a number of matches but came up short in a 5-2 dual-match loss at Oswego in the last meeting of the sides on Oct. 1, 2025.
 
Oswego claimed two of three doubles matches to take a 1-0 team lead. Isabella Eason and Kate Hayes won 6-1 at third doubles, and Avery Borman and Ashlyn Feneck outlasted Gabriella Stanley (Buffalo/Niagara-Wheatfield) and Alexandra Thut (Poughquag/Arlington) at second doubles, 7-5. Cortland won at first doubles, with Lisa Schulz (Mönchengladbach, Germany) and Christina Massoni (West Babylon) posting a 6-1 victory.

Cortland's other singles point, in addition to Massoni's win, came from Olivia Kirch (Dexter/General Brown) with a 6-3, 6-3 win on the sixth flight. Hayes won 6-4, 6-2 over Anneli Adams (Burnt Hills/Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake) at fifth singles.

In the win over St. John Fisher, Massoni and Schulz both finished 2-0, while Repass and Thut earned crucial victories in singles to decide the match.
