From today's Times-Union:
UALBANY 10, VERMONT 4
Heller, Danes stun Vermont
Goalie excels with 19 saves as UAlbany snaps 8-game skid vs. Catamounts
By Mark Singelais
Bolstered by a superb effort from senior goalkeeper Tommy Heller, the University at Albany men’s lacrosse program ended its recent frustration against Vermont and advanced to the America East Conference championship game.
Heller made 19 saves, one shy of the tournament record, and freshman attack Silas Richmond scored five goals as the fourth-seeded Great Danes stifled the two-time defending champion Catamounts 10-4 in a semifinal on Thursday at Virtue Field in Burlington, Vt.
UAlbany (6-9) moved on to the title game at 1 p.m. Saturday in Burlington against either No. 2 Bryant or No. 3 Binghamton, who met in Thursday’s later semifinal. The Great Danes are going for their first America East title since 2018 and 10th overall.
The Great Danes snapped an eight-game losing streak against No. 1 seed Vermont (9-5), which included season-ending losses in the last three America East Tournaments. When they met this regular season, the Catamounts defeated UAlbany 14-7 in Burlington on March 25.
“There’s no question this was a huge win for our program,” UAlbany head coach Scott Marr said. “I was really happy that we were the ones who beat them and it wasn’t Bryant or Binghamton or anybody else. It felt good for us to be the ones who beat the defending champions. It was really satisfying. Just that monkey off your back type thing.”
On Thursday, Richmond scored on a Jack Pucci assist to give the Great Danes the lead for good at 5-4 with 4:27 left in the first half. That was the halftime score and UAlbany shut out Vermont in the second half.
The Catamounts were repeatedly denied by Heller, who appeared in only his fifth game of the season. He made 12 saves in the second half and finished one save shy of the tournament record set by UAlbany’s Kevin Rae, who had 20 against Quinnipiac in 2002.
Marr went with Heller over junior Jack VanValkenburgh.
“(Heller) has been playing really well in practice these past two weeks,” Marr said. “Jack, unfortunately, struggled a little bit in our last couple of games. It was just one of those gut kind of feelings. Tommy has worked hard and stayed in it since he was taken out. He started earlier in the year. You’ve got to give him a lot of credit for hanging in there and staying focused ... He played unbelievable.”
To start the second half, UAlbany’s Nick Karnes won the faceoff to himself and fed Richmond, who beat Vermont goalie George Egan with a shot from the left side to make it 6-4 just seven seconds into the quarter.
The score remained that way until UAlbany freshman attack Ben Wimmer tallied a man-up goal for a 7-4 advantage with 13:17 left in the fourth period.
Wimmer, freshman midfielder Alex Pfeiffer and graduate midfielder Declan Palandjian each scored in a stretch of 1 minute, 50 seconds late in the fourth quarter to account for the final score.
“I think we were really dialed in with what our gameplan was,” Marr said. “We’ve been talking all year about putting together four quarters, and we finally did.”
