The Albany Firebirds just keep on winning.
The 'Birds completed a 3-0 road trip by beating Washington, 42-34, on Saturday night. Albany is 4-0 as they return home to play Kentucky this coming Saturday at 7 pm. In fact, four of the next five games will be at home.
If you're like me, and you're looking up the USBL site looking for NY Phoenix results, you may have to dig deeper.
The Phoenix play in the 95x40 league, which represents the USBL's Eastern conference. The Phoenix sit in 2nd place in the division at 11-4, having played one fewer game than the division leading Capital Seahawks. The current homestand continues Thursday vs. San Diego, and then, Baltimore comes in on Saturday. The Seahawks hit town at the end of the month.
Siena lost the services of goaltender Vito DeBellis due to injury in the MAAC men's lacrosse semi-finals, and it cost them in the finals against Marist, as the Red Foxes advanced to the NCAA tournament with a 12-8 win on Saturday afternoon.
Conversely, UAlbany's lacrosse teams are heading to the NCAA's, as the men captured their 3rd straight America East title in clipping Vermont, 14-11, on Saturday. On Sunday, the women followed suit, eliminating the Lady Catamounts, 13-11, for their 2nd straight title. The Siena women fell short, as they lost to Fairfield, 13-4 for the MAAC title.
Albany Times-Union reporter James Allen made a couple of blunders in his best of the week column in today's editions, both involving Troy High.
First, he claimed that Keegan Armstrong had fanned 12 in twirling a no-hitter against Ichabod Crane. The school's morning announcements on Thursday said Armstrong had struck out 13. Then, Allen got Troy's softball opponents mixed up on Friday, as the Lady Horses mercy-ruled Albany Academy, not Mohonasen, 20-3. Mohon fell victim to the mercy rule a week earlier. Maddie Schmidt joined Armstrong and flag football star Tianna Harris on the honor roll. Schmidt led Troy on Friday with 2 homers, including a grand slam, and a single, good for 6 RBI.
