News & notes

 By the time Siena is done at MVP Arena this afternoon, sometime around 4 pm, arena workers are likely going to be exhausted after 2 hockey games and a FireWolves lacrosse game yesterday, followed by Siena hosting Quinnipiac.

RPI & Union split the Mayor's Cup hockey doubleheader, with RPI's women picking up the win to complete a season sweep, 2-0. Union's men, however, avoided the same fate, and beat RPI by the same 2-0 score.

In the "nightcap", the 'Wolves ran their winning streak to 3 in a row, beating Halifax, 8-6. The game was delayed 15 minutes because workers had difficulty laying down the artificial turf for the game over the ice.

===========================================

RPI split its basketball games with Ithaca as well. The men defeated the Bombers, 73-71, but Ithaca won the women's game, blowing out the Lady Engineers, 79-36. RPI was held to just 3 points in the 2nd quarter.

===========================================

Meanwhile, UAlbany had no trouble with NJIT. The women kept their record at SEFCU Arena perfect with a 57-53 win. Abby Ray (Saratoga) did not play. Lilly Phillips (Cambridge) had 5 points for UAlbany. The men had an easier time, pulling away to take 64-53 decision.

Siena's women, on the other hand, dropped a close one to Canisius, 81-78.Valencia Fontanelle-Posson (Guilderland) had 10 points for the Lady Saints.
