News & notes

 UAlbany women's lacrosse has taken a huge hit after its season ended earlier this month, according to the Albany Times-Union.

14 players, including the 6 who missed the NCAA tournament game, have entered the transfer portal. Ouch. Talk about needing to rebuild.

Yeah, this transfer portal thing is out of control.

Former Duanesburg star Allison O'Hanlon never played a minute at Siena due to injury, but she's poised to make a comeback at the Division II level at Daemon, according to media reports. We'll see if the comeback tour makes it to the 518 next season.

The Tri-City ValleyCats still haven't won a series this season. 

The 'Cats dropped a 4-2 decision to Three Rivers on Thursday afternoon. With starter Stephen Still gone (Baltimore), I've a suspicion that, in due time, Arlo Marynczak (Bethlehem/Siena), currently in the bullpen, could move back into the rotation. The 'Cats open a series with Brockton tonight at 6:30.
