News & notes

The scores haven't been reported to the Albany Times-Union and other newspapers for whatever reason, but there was plenty of action on Saturday in high school basketball & hockey.

Troy High's women's basketball team went back on the road, and won their 2nd straight overall, beating Whitesboro, 55-51. Unfortunately, no individual scorers are available as of press time. Scorestream has a link on WNYT's web page, and that's where we found the score.

On the boys' side, Zaveon Little had 30 points to lead all scorers, as Voorheesville took down Catholic Central, 88-61. Jackson Brown led the Crusaders with 23 points.

The LaSalle-Mohonasen game has not been reported as of press time. The start of college lacrosse season in the 518 may have had something to do with that.
=================================
Speaking of lacrosse, Siena opened its season with a 14-12 verdict over Long Island University. Siena's women's basketball team notched its first ever win over Quinnipiac in a game that was streamed live on ESPN3.
==================================
Quinnipiac's women's hockey team beat RPI, 3-1. The Lady Engineers remain winless, and have just two home games left, both taking place next weekend. The lack of attendance is not exclusive to RPI, as Quinnipiac had less than 500 fans at their game.

For what it's worth, RPI enjoyed its largest crowd of the season at the Mayor's Cup two weeks ago at the Times-Union Center, with over 1200 fans in attendance, but bank on this. Most of them came for the men's game.
====================================
RPI's men's basketball team has quietly become the hottest team on campus, extending their winning streak to 18, tying a school record, with a win over Vassar on Saturday. They're right back at it today vs. Ithaca.
===================================
Unfortunately, the LaSalle hockey team's struggles continue, as their losing streak is now at 12 games after falling, 2-1, to CBA, on Saturday night. Still no makeup date set for their home match vs. Adirondack, but the regular season is supposed to end next Saturday with Senior Night vs. "Guilderville", which lost, 5-3, to Burnt Hills, on Saturday.
