News & notes

 Just when UAlbany thought it had everything settled with men's basketball coach Dwayne Killings, it hasn't.

Killings is set to be arraigned Monday in a Kentucky on assault charges stemming from an incident involving now-ex-Great Dane Luke Fizulich in November 2021 during a tournament at Eastern Kentucky. Fizulich and his attorney were not satisfied in the least with UAlbany suspending Killings for 5 games, not including the Albany Cup vs. Siena, at the start of the season, so the case is apparently to go to trial.

The Danes are idle until Wednesday at New Hampshire.

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

When the baseball Danes begin play next month, they will be without one of last year's pitchers.

Anthony Germinerio (Averill Park) has transferred to George Washington of the Atlantic 10 Conference. He won't be alone, as Brett Young has transferred from Siena to GWU as a redshirt junior. The Colonials open play next month at East Carolina.

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

Some stats from last night's Troy-Guilderland women's game.

Ava Mamone led Troy with 18 points in a losing effort, while Kate Gilooly, back after missing most of the 2nd half Tuesday, added 13. The Lady Horses are at Kingston today, then return home to play Averill Park on Tuesday, and Shenendehowa next Friday. Yikes!

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

The Bethlehem women's basketball team is on, as the Blues Brothers would say, "a mission from God".

How else to explain the Lady Eagles sitting atop the Blue Division standings in the Suburban Council, undefeated in league play (12-1 overall) after destroying Ballston Spa, 92-31, turning the Lady Scotties into so much puppy chow. Caroline Davis & Kaitlyn Robbins led the way with 18 points each, while Ellie Cerf added 12. And they still have to play Shen.

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

The Troy High men's basketball team snapped a 3 game losing streak in beating Guilderland, 66-63. Unfortunately, no stats were available as of press time. We should have that tomorrow. Troy (6-5 overall) continues the road trip at Averill Park, Shenendehowa, & Bishop Ludden next week before returning home to host old friend Curt Sankey and Columbia on January 31.

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

RPI's ECAC men's hockey team snapped a 3 game losing streak as well, needing overtime to beat Clarkson, 3-2. Max Smolinski had the game winner at 2:44 of the extra session. The Engineers host St. Lawrence tonight at 7. The game can be heard on WRPI (91.5 FM) or on the website.

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

Mt. St. Mary's is in the MAAC for the first year, and thus made their first appearance in the regular season at MVP Arena to play Siena on Friday. The Saints sent them packing with some not so friendly parting gifts in a 72-57 win. Michael Eley led Siena with 20 points, while Javian McCollum added 17. The Saints continue their 3 game homestand tomorrow vs. Fairfield (WNYA, 2 pm.).

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

Ballston Spa's men's basketball team fell from the ranks of the undefeated on Friday, losing to Bethlehem, 62.54. After a narrow escape at Troy last week, this was bound to happen. Stats tomorrow.
