News & notes

 Siena got senior Ahniysha Jackson (Albany) back after a case of the flu for Saturday's Alumni Day matinee vs. Iona. Jackson hit a 3 pointer to start the 2nd half, and that was it. Anajah Brown led Siena 19 points and 10 rebounds, powering the Saints past the Gaels, 77-56. Siena (8-8 overall, 5-3 MAAC) will get a few days' rest before playing Quinnipiac next Saturday.

Important stats from Friday's Averill Park-Troy games:

In the men's game, Stetson Merritt was held to 12 points, while older brother Legend led Troy with 14 points. Jacob Phelps, who has hurt Troy on the gridiron, had a game high 16 points for Averill Park.

The women's game, you know, was a massacre. Sanaya Adams led Troy with just 7 points as no Troy player reached double figures. Sean Organ's club shut down Amaya Harris, who only managed a free throw for 1 point. AP led, 23-3, after the 1st quarter, 38-5 at halftime, and 56-9 after three quarters before Organ pulled his starters. The next time he comes to Troy, he's going to be lustily booed out of the building. Trust me.

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

Hudson Valley Community College hosted a men's & women's basketball doubleheader between Shaker & Shenendehowa. Understandably, the frigid temperatures kept a lot of fans away, but those that did brave the elements were treated to a thriller in the men's game, won by Shaker. Shen won the women's game in a blowout, 62-29.

The Albany FireWolves are undefeated no more.

The San Diego Seals saw to that Saturday at MVP Arena, upsetting the NLL leaders, 14-7. I wonder, though, if some wise guys will try to claim the arena was not cleansed of Siena's losing mojo after the Saints lost on Friday night in the same building. Just sayin'.
