 While the America East tournament gets underway tonight for UAlbany's women's basketball team, the season is over for the men after a 79-61 loss to Vermont Tuesday night.

The Great Danes finish 8-23, a product of inconsistent play, injuries, and off-court distractions involving coach Dwayne Killings, who, for all intents & purposes, may have coached his last game in Albany. There had been a call not too long ago from fans for Killings to dismissed, and that could still happen, but the sticking point might be what to do about Killings' contract, which still has some time left. Stay tuned.
==============================================
Bethlehem reclaimed the Section II hockey title Tuesday at Union College with a 4-1 victory over the upstart Captial District Jets. Rory Cairns stopped 28 shots in leading the Eagles to the title.

What isn't known is who Bethlehem will play in the state tournament this weekend. With one sectional title in the trophy case, Bethlehem will be hoping to add a 2nd one when the women's basketball team plays Albany for the Class AA title Friday at Hudson Valley Community College.
