It's going to feel like old home week for UAlbany's women's basketball coaching staff next season, with two former Lady Danes joining coach Colleen Mullen's staff.
First Tiana-Jo Carter, class of 2018, was hired as an assistant in mid-week. Next, Val Klopfer, a Bishop Maginn product who played her college ball at Wake Forest, will begin her 2nd tour of duty as an assistant, after serving 1 season under Trina Patterson some 20 years ago. Regardless, the familiarity with the program will boost the current Lady Danes as America East title contenders.
=============================================
Arlo Marynczak (Bethlehem/Siena) won his first professional game Friday, as the Tri-City Valleycats defeated Three Rivers, 11-6. Awarding the decision to Marynczak was strictly at the discretion of the official scorer, since Marynczak came just short of the 5 innings required of major league starters, and, I'd presumed also, minor league starters, too.
==============================================
The Albany Firebirds will not run the table in the Arena Football League.
The Orlando Predators collected a receipt Saturday, defeating Albany, 56-49, at MVP Arena. The scene shifts to Orlando on June 29 for the season finale.

Could there be a Section II alumnus on the Olympic team? Maybe.
Sam Brown, a recent grad from Scotia-Glenville, is taking part in the Olympic Trials in swimming. The trials take place this week in Indianapolis. USA Swimming has installed a 50 meter pool at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL's Colts. Brown will swim on Wednesday.
===============================================
Schalmont's Dannah Smith will graduate on June 27. On Saturday, Smith won the Schenectady Women's Golf Classic after shooting a round of 73, 1 over par. No one broke par, and Smith bested the field by 5 strokes over the runner-up, defending champion Karen Feldman (Columbia). Smith will be attending Monmouth in the fall. The New Jersey school is getting a good one.
