Tilly Pethrick and Fiona Sierens: From Ice to Booth

OSWEGO, N.Y. — WTOP-10TV will be hosting its third annual All-Women’s broadcast on Saturday, featuring a doubleheader at the Deborah F. Stanley Ice Arena.

This is the first instance over the three-year span that the specialty sportscast will showcase two games as opposed to one, with the women’s team taking on RV William Smith at 3 p.m., followed by the men’s side clashing with Buffalo State at 7.

For the aforementioned primetime outing, the two faces in the Steve Levy ’87 Press Box will appear on the ice — as players — just hours before, against William Smith.

“On Saturday, it’ll be something that’s definitely on my mind … kind of putting on my second hat for the night,” said junior defenseman Tilly Pethrick, who will assume the role of play-by-play commentator.

The Stratford, Conn., native will put on the headset for the second consecutive year, as she worked as a color commentator for last year’s All-Women’s broadcast alongside Chloe Siena.

“I’ve taken this week as our last week of regular season into consideration,” said Pethrick. “Staying present in the whole process and not taking the enjoyment out of it by being stressed.”

Meanwhile, freshman forward Fiona Sierens will make her first-ever call as a color commentator next to Pethrick.

“The two things that I love about this school are hockey and broadcasting,” said Sierens. “I’m passionate about both, so I think it’s going to be a really fun night of being surrounded by Oswego hockey energy and my teammates.”

Sierens switched her major from Biology to Broadcasting following the fall 2025 semester and has mentioned that everyday confirms she made the right choice of swapping the microscope for the microphone.

“Having someone next to me who knows the game, plays the game and also is my teammate makes the experience even more unique and cool,” said Pethrick.
