News & notes

 Troy High's Michael DiNardo will stay close to home for college.

The Daily Gazette is reporting that DiNardo will play college football at Union starting in September, coming off a successful senior season at Troy. With this year's Dutchmen's Shoes game set for Frank Bailey Field at Union in November, the earliest homecoming for DiNardo will be in 2024, when the annual rivalry game vs. RPI returns to Troy.

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

UAlbany's baseball team was to play Army today at West Point, but that game was postponed in advance due to Tuesday's storm.

The two schools are working on rescheduling the game at a later date.

In other UAlbany news, the women's basketball team will play UMass-Amherst in the first round of the Women's NIT on Friday at the Mullins Center. However, there is no TV or radio coverage scheduled, and that stinks. The women's games do not air on the school radio station, WCDB, for whatever reason, but should.

518 Alumni watch:

Former Troy star David Judge is tearing it up for Lynn College in Florida. Judge leads the team in average at .386, and has 4 homers and 20 RBI, which also leads the team. The Lynn Fighting Knights, whom no one had heard of until now, are 10-8-1 this season.

George Washington University continues to struggle on the field. The Colonials got smacked, 20-5, at the hands of Virginia on Tuesday, in a game that aired on the ACC Network (part of ESPN). Brett Young (Albany Academy/Virginia Commonwealth/Siena) was, in fact, benched over the weekend, as he's batting .167, and while his coaches had a chance to put him in the field late in a blowout, they opted not to do so. The Colonials return home today to play Maine (America East) before playing Niagara (MAAC), also at home, this weekend. Friday's game, at least, will stream on ESPN+.
