Lexi Levy’s Journey to Oswego

OSWEGO, NY- THE OSWEGO STATE WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAM GOT A STELLAR PERFORMANCE OUT OF THEIR FIRST YEAR GOALIE LEXI LEVY. LEVY’S IMPACT WAS FELT ON DAY ONE AS SHE WAS ONE OF THE BEST GOALIES IN THE NEWHL THIS SEASON.  

SUNY OSWEGO SOPHOMORE LEXI LEVY MADE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT IN HER FIRST SEASON AS THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY STARTING GOALIE.

LEVY FACED A TOUGH CHALLENGE GOING FROM A D1 SCHOOL IN POST UNIVERSITY TO OSWEGO A D3 SCHOOL.  LEVY SAYS SHE FACED CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY BUT GOT USED THE CHANGE AFTER A WHILE

“Just coming over here and everything being different, it was difficult.  I was able to adapt very quickly and got along with the girls pretty well”

IN ADDITION TO PLAYING HOCKEY, LEVY ALSO PLAYS ON THE WOMEN’S LACROSSE TEAM AND SAYS SHE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCING THE TWO SPORTS 

“It’s definitely difficult to balance both Levy said.  Just keeping everything planned out and being able to make everything I can for both teams”.  

IN LEVY’S LAST GAME ON THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAM AGAINST CORTLAND IN THE NEWHL SEMI FINALS SHE FACED 60 SHOTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE GAME AND SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH ONLY ALLOWED TWO GOALS IN A 2-0 LOSS TO CORTLAND.  LEVY UNDERSTANDS THE COMPOSURE THAT IS NEEDED TO STAY FOCUSED AS A GOALIE. 

“In a big game like that it’s huge, Levy said.  I think just being able to be mentally tough is huge for me and I think knowing I was locked in was super important” 

LEVY’S ONLY A SOPHOMORE AND HER BEST SEASONS ARE STILL TO COME WHERE SHE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE EACH SEASON.
