Weekend sports roundup, 5/8-10

 Lacrosse season is over for colleges in the 518.

For Union College's women, it ended in Salisbury, Maryland on Sunday in a 2nd round loss to the host team, 17-9. The Garnet Chargers finished at 14-7 for the season, much better than the men, who finished well below .500, and didn't land a post-season bid.

UAlbany's women were in Baltimore, not too far from Salisbury, and, with six players missing for various reasons, fell to Johns Hopkins, 21-7, on Friday. The Lady Danes finish at 12-6. As for the men, they were obliterated on national television by North Carolina, 24-6, on Saturday afternoon, a game shown on ESPNU. The men played one fewer game, and finish 11-6. The whole idea of a mid-major vs. a power conference isn't so bad or pronounced in lacrosse as it would be in basketball, but, still, it makes one of this guy......


"Mid-major colleges are like me! No respect!"

In other college action, UAlbany's women finished 4th in the America East track & field championships on Sunday. The men also finished in 4th, as New Hampshire won the men's title, and Bryant copped the women's crown.

College baseball:

Siena 8, Iona 1.

Binghamton 3, UAlbany 1.

It wasn't a sweet homecoming for Darius Prince, as the former Albany Empire/Firebird star returned to MVP Arena as a visitor for the first time in 7 years Saturday. Prince had a pair of touchdowns, but the Kentucky Barrel defense looked more like Cracker Barrel in trying to stop the 'Birds, who won, 55-37.

The Tri-City ValleyCats dropped two of three to New Jersey over the weekend. The 'Cats won the opener, 7-1, as Aaron Whitley (Niskayuna) made his 'Cats debut a successful one. Arlo Marynczak (Bethlehem/Siena) pitched the 9th with no save on the line, and fanned 2. The Jackals won the next two, 7-4 & 10-6.

The 'Cats stay in New Jersey to play Sussex County starting tomorrow.
