 Siena is still looking for its 1st win in women's soccer after dropping a 3-2 decision to Lipscomb on Sunday. The Saints fall to 0-3-1, and will return home Thursday to play New Hampshire.
=============================================
Meanwhile, UAlbany picked up its 1st win of the season in field hockey Sunday by shutting out Stonehill, 5-0. That squares the Lady Danes' record at 1-1.


But it was a shutout of a different kind on the volleyball court, as Central Florida defeated the Lady Danes in straight sets.

There are reports of Saratoga race course needing some improvements after 2 horses died on the track on Saturday. WNYT reported last week that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is calling for NYRA to shut Saratoga, and follow the lead of Churchill Downs, which closed earlier this year after a series of horse fatalities there. The final week of the 2023 season begins Wednesday.
=====================================================
The Tri-City Valleycats dropped the finale of their series at the NY Boulders, 2-1, on Sunday, but the Boulders pulled it off without one of their best players, Tucker Nathans, who was ejected in the 1st inning. An umpire was removed as a result of the confrontation as he might've initiated physical contact. The Boulders are up in arms over 'Cats manager Pete Incaviglia alleging cheating, which led to the center field camera being shut down. Tri-City remains in 3rd place, but the Boulders are breathing heavily, hoping to take the final playoff spot in the East.
