2018 Albany Lacrosse Schedule

I had a thought about tough scheduling obstacles/weak opponents during conference season a while ago..... I passed along a thought to Marr.

Below was my email..... Any thoughts?  

 

"Coach,

.......... I had an idea that I thought I would share.... whether it's realistic or not.

Seeing that we might be up against the idea that teams are reluctant to schedule games
against UA now, and filling some time/slots might be more of a challenge..... I thought of this:

Seeing that you have started to created a pipeline from the native American nations, and building
that pipeline stronger would be nothing but fantastic.....  is it possible establish an annual scrimmage
in May against the Iroquois National team?   

This would be beneficial for a few reasons.  First, to throw in a tough game in May in preparations
for the NCAA tournament/ AE tourny....... Second, to continue to solidify the bond of UA and native American lacrosse.

Not sure of the rules/regulations involved with any of this, but thought I'd pass along the idea.

Here's to the upcoming, wildly successful season!"

 

 

 

Sounds good, until someone gets hurt in a game that doesn't count.

Speaking of schedule strength Syracuse is in the midst of a pretty brutal stretch of games:

#1 Albany L

#13 Army W

#10 Virginia W

#9 Hopkins L

#11 Rutgers L

#3 Duke

#4 Notre Dame

?

According to the Yale website the game on 4/22 will be streamed on espn3.

Quick question, parking pass says the Stony Brook game is 7pm, but ticket website says 4pm..so I assume the time was changed at some point. Does anyone which time is the correct one?

Change must have happened recently. Women are at 1 that day. I would go with 4pm as a new time

Thanks! You would have thought that they would advertise a time change since people have already bought tickets but you know that's called communication LOL

Some nice exposure in the NY Post!

Picked up my season tickets at the meet & greet. Tickets printed prior to season SAY 4pm. So change NOT recent. Interesting to note bingo tickets for Friday 4/23 say 1pm; but I did receive an email a while back noting the error. It is the Spring Stomp game and at 7PM.

Yes. I just looked at my ticket . Says 4. They also gave a flyer out today when parking that says 4.

Was told it was changed a while ago on request of the team from Southeastern NY who wants to get home earlier for Easter. ?

Also told a reminder email going out tomorrow

For all the grief the Danes get for their schedule we are 6-0 abasing top 20 RPI teams and 2-0 against top 5 RPI's with the opportunity for another against Yale.

[UAFAN]

Yale loses to Bucknell in OT

[nysteve661]

Thats a bummer.  Wanted UA to defeat a top 5 team when we play them.  

[UAalum72]

Bucknell was ranked 14 so maybe Yale stays top ten

[nysteve661]

Well, time to digest the loss, and maybe we can laugh about it on Memorial Day.  Just checked Laxpower RPI and we still are #1 by .01 over Maryland.  We were up by .06 before loss.  A few things they need to do:

1)  get healthy  over next 13 days.  Assuming Fields and Reh did not have any secret surgery,  they should be ready.

2) beat Bing and Hartford to secure home field.   UVM, SB also have only 1 loss in AE but we beat them both to take any tie-breaker

3) beat Yale.  Good for confidence, also could get us back to a 1 seed if Maryland loses any game left
