News & notes

 Union College's men's hockey team was back on the ice Saturday. That was the good news. The bad? They lost to Harvard, 4-1.

In addition, updated COVID guidelines at the school now prohibit "outside spectators" as of Friday. One wonders what this means when RPI & Union play each other for the Mayor's Cup at MVP Arena later this month.

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

Siena' women's basketball team returned to action as well, but are still looking for their first win of the season. The Lady Saints fell to Quinnipiac, 68-51, to drop to 0-10. It's not looking good for Jim Jabir's 2nd tour of duty in Loudonville unless he can turn things around in a royal hurry.

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

UAlbany split their men's & women's games vs. New Hampshire.

The men dropped a heartbreaker, 64-62, as the Danes are still dealing with COVID. Coach Dwayne Killings shared the other day that he had tested positive.

The women, meanwhile, downed New Hampshire, 50-39. Grace Heeps (Columbia) had 9 points. Abby Ray (Saratoga) had 2, and Lilly Phillips (Cambridge) added 6 to help the winning cause.
