WILLIMANTIC, CT.  –  The Oswego State Men's Basketball team faced Eastern Connecticut State this afternoon on day 2 of the Tip-Off Tournament. The Warriors refused to back down from the Lakers, as they erased several double digit deficits on the afternoon. Oswego was able to stay resilient, taking the Eastern Connecticut Tip-Off Tournament Championship by a score of 60-50. With this win, Coach Jason Leone has become the winningest coach in Oswego State Basketball History. Leone passes Kevin Broderick who coached the Lakers from 1996 until 2009 with a 209-150 record. Leone now stands at the top of the record book with a very impressive 210-78 record in his twelfth year as the Lakers' Head Men's Basketball Coach.
