News & notes

 Former UAlbany receiver Juwan Green could be seeing his first pro action today as he suits up for the Atlanta Falcons against the Giants. Green was signed by Atlanta earlier this week to shore up the position after injuries sidelined their starters.
=================================
The Freihofer's Run For Women returned to downtown Albany Saturday morning. Now, here's an event that deserves television coverage on a more consistent basis, but, of course, local stations can't be bothered with it.

Aisling Cuffe of Concord, Massachusetts crossed the finish line first. The highest finishing local runner was Cara Sherman (UAlbany/Mohonasen), who finished second.
======================================
It was another football-soccer doubleheader at RPI's East Campus Village Stadium on Saturday. COVID protocols, we must remind, prohibit fans from attending the games. Luckily, there is RPI TV, available on YouTube.

The day began with RPI crushing St. John Fisher, 41-7, giving up only a garbage time TD late in the second half, because, realistically, the game was over by halftime, with RPI leading, 34-0, at the break. 

Here's the video:


Later in the day, RPI's women's soccer team shut out Bard, 6-0. Whitney Wisnom led the Lady Engineers with 2 goals.

Other scores:

Football:

Union keeps pace with RPI, running their record to 4-0 with a 30-9 win over Utica.

On the high school beat, Troy High's women's soccer team still hasn't scored a goal this season. Troy fell to 0-2 outside the Suburban Council, with both losses to Colonial Council squads, the latest being Cohoes, who beat Troy, 7-0, in the first half of a Homecoming soccer doubleheader. Speaking of doubleheaders, Troy will be part of another one next Saturday, as the men's & women's soccer teams will both be at Guilderland.
