RPI will be playing to save its postseason tonight, down 1-0 in games in the ECAC playoffs vs. Quinnipiac after the Bobcats blew out the Engineers, 6-1. A win tonight forces a game 3 tomorrow.
The same holds true for Union, which lost, 3-1, to Dartmouth. Not a good way to mark the 10th anniversary of Union's national title in hockey.
===========================================
Basketball season is over at Siena.
Falling behind, 34-11, after the 1st quarter vs. Niagara, the Saints never recovered, and the Purple Eagles eliminated the women, just as the men did earlier in the week, 87-70. The men's game, hampered by a delayed start Tuesday, was more competitive, but turnovers in that critical 1st frame, cost Siena big time.
=============================================
Hopefully, there was plenty of Kleenex to send to Hudson Valley Community College for the high school state tournaments.
In the Class C final, Allison O'Hanlon had 27 points, but very little support, as Alex Moses was held to 3 points, and Hannah Mulhern had just 8, as Moravia defeated Duanesburg, 46-45.
Sean Organ's quest for a perfect season for Class AA champion Averill Park came to a crashing end as AP fell in overtime to Hilton, 73-71, in what can be perceived as the biggest upset of the day.
In her final high school game, Taylor Holohan had 31 points, backed by Arianna Verardi with 17, but Hilton wouldn't stay down, playing with a point to prove. Playing their 4th game on the HVCC court in 2 weeks, AP should've had more of an advantage, but Hilton had the answers to the AP defense.
Luckily, there are three more Section II teams still in the hunt.
In Class A, Catholic Central will play Walter Panas later tonight (approximate tip time is 7 pm). That game will be preceded by the B final, with Utica-Notre Dame as the last obstacle for Albany Academy, after the Bears routed Southwestern, 73-32, on Friday.
Earlier today, Class D champ Northville advanced to tomorrow's title game by beating Elba, 41-34. Jim Zullo's club will await the winner of Hammond Central vs. Cherry Valley-Springfield, underway at press time. Tip time tomorrow is 11:45 am.
Meanwhile, in Glens Falls, one men's title has been decided, as Stillwater defeated Marcellus, 59-50, for the B title.
Earlier today, Green Tech advanced to the Class AAA title game by defeating Kingston for the 2nd time this season, 52-45. The Eagles will play the winner of Bay Shore vs. Niagara Falls, also currently underway. In Class D, North Warren moves on to tomorrow's title game after beating Smithtown Christian, 51-46. They'll play Sackets Harbor tomorrow at 3.
Homestanding Glens Falls plays Wayne later this afternoon.
