News & notes

UAlbany's mens' basketball team closes out 2019 on the road in the tri-state area, and the trip has already gotten off to a bad start.

The Great Danes fell to St. John's on Wednesday night, 85-57. Will Brown's club is off until Saturday, when they play Monmouth, then return downstate to play Columbia on December 30.
==========================================
Joe Germinerio, Jr. finished his collegiate career at Ithaca by being named to the All-Liberty League 1st team at quarterback. The LaSalle graduate had initially committed to UAlbany, but transferred to Brockport for his sophomore season after redshirting as a freshman due to not getting any playing time in Albany.

Former Shaker QB Wahid Nabi will likely be the starting quarterback when he begins his senior season in 2020.
========================================
When Albany Academy visits LaSalle in hockey on Saturday night, both sets of Cadets will be looking for their first win of the league season.

LaSalle dropped a 6-1 decision to CBA on Wednesday night in front of the faithful at Conway Arena, and now have dropped two straight, and three of their first five overall games.

Academy was greeted rudely at home by defending Delvecchio Cup champion Bethlehem, 10-0, also on Wednesday, and are 0-2 in league play.

Speaking of LaSalle, the date's been set for Cadets For Vets III. It'll be Saturday, January 18, in the rematch vs. the Capital District Jets, who are anything but patsies this season. The Jets beat LaSalle last Saturday night, 6-3, so Tim Flanigan's Cadets are looking for revenge.
=========================================
Quick reminder that there's no basketball at Troy High tomorrow. Instead, the women's team finishes a 3 game homestand tonight vs. Colonie, while the guys will try to snap a 3 game losing streak at Colonie. Given the frigid temperatures, maybe they should spring for space heaters in the bleachers.......
============================================
Troy-CBA's swimming & diving meet vs. Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake on Tuesday has not been reported as of press time. We're hoping to rectify that issue soon.
