there is a article with photo gallery on the athletic website...looks like it will be awesome...as the new head play by play guy for Lacrosse for WCDB, im excited about it.

Coaches vs Cancer is the one they are looking to get in against Florida.

6-foot-2 guard Mike Trimboli who was a prospect for Siena before the Lanier signing, signed up with UVM. Trimboli,averaged 28 points per game at St. Luke's High School in New Canaan, Conn. It affects us, so i figure i post it.

so shes a sophmore or junior? Does vollyball have the same rules as like Basketball or football or did she sit out last year?

Thats awesome news

Male Athlete

1) Luke Duquino, Lacrosse

2) Gered Burns, Track

3) Bouna Coundoul, Soccer

4) Colin Disch, Football

5) Geir Gudmundsen, Football

Female Athlete

1) Danielle Hutcheson, Basketball

2) Blair Buchanon, Vollyball

3) Amanda Morin, Softball

4) Eileen Nicole Rodriguez, Vollyball

5) Kelly Ogden, Softball

Coach

1) Scott Marr, lacrosse

2) Kelly Sheffield, volleyball

3) Chris Cannata, softball

4) Roberto Vives, track & field

5) Johan Aarnio, mens soccer

well us at cdb talked with Marr after the championship game vs SB, he said what others said, that they were planning on putting the field down with some stands, no press box etc...But he said that he hoped the 3 straigh titles etc...would be something to get donors out to help get the press box in.

what i would like to see done is them put flag powels in at these stadiums with championship banners or flags on them. same for softball, football etc...

If im not mistaken, only the top 4 make it to the AE Tournament for Baseball. Going into the 3 game series this weekend, UA is 1 game behind Vermont for the last spot in the playoffs. Maybe this win streak the team is on will be big this weekend.

exactly...we have no control over the seedings, the ranking system is screwed up, just like the BCS in football and the RPI system in basketball, so we must deal with what we got. End of Story. Morin will go against NW and maybe will shock a few people.

Like i said before, i believe we this ranking has alot to do with we are a first time team in this thing

From the UAlbany Athletic Page:

Gered Burns (Guilderland H.S.) won the 800-meter run at the 129th IC4A Track & Field Championships on Sunday afternoon at Princeton University ’s Weaver Stadium. Burns, who is the first outdoor IC4A champion in the program’s history, established a school record with a time of 1:48.66.

Congrads to him. Once again proving what a year it has been for UA Athletics

I was flipping around Fox23 website, and they had the video section. Had a great piece on Scott Marr running practice before the Virginia Game. In it, the first 5 seconds, he tells Rae that he got a letter saying he was gonna get a tryout with MLL next year. Congrads to him. I wonder if Duquino or anyone else got one.

note: Northwestern is the 19th ranked team in the country.

i think the ranking is to the effect that we are a first time team in the Tournament. Thats why i think we got that ranking.

Look at it this way:

We are 14th in the bracket out of 16, 56th overall out of 64. To me, i dont see this as a horrible ranking. Realize that an average midwest or west cost team will be ranked better then us because of competition. Until UA starts playing top ranked teams, this is what we are gonna get. Im not complaining about the sched at all. But im just saying that avg west cost and midwest teams will still get that on there sched. I can guarantee we probably have the best ranking out of any Northeast Team in this tournament. I dont see this team as a Top 45 team in the softball world. Not with the way the midwest and west cost own the NCAA Softball. You get one team from the Pac-10, SEC or Big 12 on your sched, and you win your conference, your gonna get a higher ranking then us, even if you lost that game.

This is however is what Albany needs. NCAA tournament bearths will get you a game down in Florida or out West early in the season, then your in good shape. I think this ranking is about right for this team. Now lets go shock the hell out of of the Cats, Irish and Cards

how does it break down? 2 loss elimination?

Northwestern, Louisville and Notre Dame in Regional Bracket. Northwestern is the #9 overall seed i believe they said, Michigan is #1.

i interviewd Coach Marr after the UMBC game, and I asked him what was the difference in the game...on air on WCDB he said jokingly, "play more day games thats for sure"...

yea i believe craig and charles told me that Marr is recruiting hard for 1 or 2 specialists for next year. It has been and still clearly is the main problem when it comes to this team.

i used the tracker thing in the Lax Power forum...they had a update post also, and people were saying we didnt have a single possesion in the 3rd.

Hard loss to finish the season. Still have growing to do when it comes to the Tournament. It can only get better. Like to see all the final stats when they come out. I heard that we didnt even have a possesion in the 3rd Quarter. Not sure if thats true or not. Always next year. Lets go for 4th in a row...shock the lacrosse world

yea...not our night...not even close. I still feel we deserved a better match-up then Virginia, but hey, it happens. The run was nice...there is always next year

I must say, this is the greatest year in the history of UA Athletics. Look at the run down:

- 1 player drafted to MLB - Adam Kroft (if you want to consider it this year)

- 2 players, 1 drafted to the NFL (Campbell and Gundmunson)

- Former Athlete compeating in the Olympics in Athens, Greece

- 3x Defending AE Lacrosse Team, Possible 1st ever tournament win, NATIONALLY RANKED (1ST TEAM IN SCHOOL HISTORY), nearly beating defending Ntl Champs.

- A Softball team looking like they will win the AE Title and 1st Trip to the NCAA Tournament, which they can win possibly a few.

- More Television Coverage for Football and Basketball

- A Men's Basketball team that shows when healthy, can take this Conf, and early favorites for next year.

- A Women's Basketball team that shows it can play anyone in the country or in conference.

- A Men's Soccer team that is coming into its own in the AE

- A Women's Tennis Team that has done a complete 180

- A Golf Team that continues to play well, played its best golf ever, yet some how lost.

- A Track and Field, Cross Country Team that continues to send people to the NCAA Tournament and win AE Titles like no tomorrow.

- A Women's Lacrosse team that played one of the hardest out of conference sched in the country, and yet came out with a respectable record

- A Volleyball team that sets NCAA records, and gets a trip to the NCAA tournament.

- 4 TEAMS WITH NCAA TOURNAMENT PARTICIPATION (LACROSSE, SOFTBALL, TRACK AND FIELD AND VOLLYBALL)

- A football team thats trying to prove itself to the big boys.

THIS HAS BEEN BY FAR THE GREATEST YEAR IN UALBANY ATHLETIC HISTORY. THE CRAZY THING IS, 2005-06 MAYBE EVEN BETTER.

i was surprised when Morin was pitching the 7th...i was thinking she would be held for tomorrow, without throwing a pitch before hand

great 7-3 win...surprised Morin pitched the 7th. Wonder who starts tomorrow

WCDB would love to go, however, Craig and Charles have graduation to attend to this weekend, as well as preparing to enter the real world. Myself am going home for the next week and a half before i have to come right back up for a session of summer classes. Were sorry about it. We would if we could. But the AE championship was our last game of the year. We are only student radio, but we try our best.

would have liked to see Morin as Player of the Year, but ill take pitcher. Haas is a reasonable winner. Top 5-10 in every major hitting category...like to see her an Morin go at it for the title.

Marr loves the match-up because they play fast pace like UA. Thinks its perfect for them from what he said with Wyland.

Plans on leaving Friday, and will fly...hahaha

should be interesting
