As a parting gift to Troy High, which is moving to the Colonial Council this fall, the Suburban Council snubbed the Flying Horses in naming their men's basketball all-stars, revealed Tuesday. Didn't help that their best player, freshman Stetson Merritt, left the team before the sectionals. Former Troy player Daniel Covington, a senior at Albany, made the 2nd team.
====================================================
Siena's men's basketball team had to wait until nearly midnight to take the court vs. Niagara in the MAAC tournament due to earlier games running long.
The game, scheduled for a 9:45 pm tip, didn't start until sometime after 11 pm. Given Siena's wretched record, you'd think the tournament organizers would've gotten a clue and had this game go on earlier than it was scheduled.
As it was, oft-injured sophomore Michael Eley didn't start, and led Siena with 15 points in 33 minutes coming off the bench, leading 5 Saints in double figures. Mason Courtney (Shenendehowa) was one of three with 10 points in 30 minutes, but it wasn't enough, as Niagara advanced with a 67-65 win. Siena finishes 4-28, on an 8 game losing streak heading into next season.
======================================================
The rest of Tuesday's college action:
Women's lacrosse:
Siena 16, Colgate 9.
Skidmore 14, Rowan 8.
Russell Sage 15, Manhattanville 13.
Baseball:
Georgetown 8, George Washington 6. Brett Young (Albany Academy) didn't start, but was used as a pinch runner. The Revolutionaries have dropped five of six heading into a weekend series at Presbyterian.
