News & notes

Union College's hockey team is off to an 0-4 start after losing to Northeastern, 2-1, Friday night. RPI's ECAC squad fell, 5-3, to UMass-Amherst, also on Friday. Sounds like when the two local rivals get together, there might be a shift in the balance of power in the 518.....
=====================================
Let's take a look at the Class AA football standings after week 6, courtesy of the Albany Times-Union:

Niskayuna0600.0000600.000


After losing to Shenendehowa last night, CBA ends up falling into a tie for 4th place, a half game behind Guilderland in the conference. The downside is that Bethlehem owns the tie-breaker over CBA, and, in turn, Guilderland owns a tie-breaker over Bethlehem, having beaten the Eagles earlier this season. The top two teams, Shaker & Shenendehowa, appear to be locked in to their slots for the semi-finals in week 9. As outlined last night, CBA will close with Shaker & Guilderland, and will need to win at least one of the two to stay in contention. As you can see, we erred last night when we said Saratoga hadn't won a game this season. Just the same, the Blue Streaks, along with Colonie & Niskayuna, have already been eliminated from playoff contention, even though they could play spoiler against Shen in two weeks.
