Bring on San Diego!

The Albany FireWolves won their first ever playoff game Sunday, beating Halifax at MVP Arena, 9-3. They'll next play in San Diego Friday night, and, as was the case yesterday, the game will air on one of the ESPN channels.

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

The Albany Patroons continue to roll.

Amir Yusef had 23 points to lead six Pats in double figures as they downed Virginia Valley for the 2nd time in a week, 113-94, at the Washington Avenue Armory. The Pats are currently in 3rd place, 2 games behind Reading, whom they beat on Friday. The Pats are back for a rare mid-week game on Wednesday.

Albany has already beaten Tri-State twice in the last month. Wednesday could be more of the same.
