News & notes

Yes, they're still playing soccer in the northeast in December.

The College of St. Rose reached the national semi-finals in women's soccer in NCAA Division II, only to lose, 3-2, to Grand Valley State on Thursday in Pittsburgh.

The Golden Knights finish 21-3-1 on the season.
============================================
Maybe the worm really has turned for Troy High winter sports.

Troy's men's swimming & diving team, a unified unit with Christian Brothers Academy, won their initial meet of the season on Wednesday, defeating Guilderland-Voorheesville, 49-43. This is the 2nd year of Troy & CBA's combined team, and, just like the improving bowling team, they're off to a fast start in the Troy pool.

Meanwhile, the Troy bowling team saw their two match winning streak come to an end Thursday at Boulevard Bowl with a 23-9 loss to Schenectady. Still, 3-2 after five matches is better than it has been since Troy entered the Suburban Council four years ago, and they haven't had this kind of talent on the lanes since they were still in the Big 10 in the 90's, when the likes of Jeremy Yando & Steve Horton were the team leaders.

At this early stage, it looks like Queensbury, which had a late surge last season, could challenge Bethlehem for the Delvecchio Cup, which goes to the regular season champion. Pity the Capital District Jets (formerly Shaker-Colonie), which has to play tonight at Oswego before coming home to face LaSalle tomorrow. I would not count on Shen and/or Albany Academy remaining league doormats for long, though, as it is still early, and Academy had the misfortune of playing their first league game against Queensbury. They're idle until Wednesday, when they play Bethlehem before visiting LaSalle for part 1 of the Battle of The Cadets.
