Still only one first place vote; Hope that close game with NJIT is quickly forgotten.

No information on Craig in the UA website story...how does a 6'8" woman go missing?

There's your problem, no voters from America East (Boston U voter a holdover?)

Considering what we lost from last year this schedule is understandable. With so many players returning next year I hope we schedule more aggressively. - DP

 

Perfectly stated!!!!

 

I am sure next year's schedule will be more aggressive. Next year we could even start the year getting AP Top 25 votes!!!!!

Sweet...less worry of a coaching defection!

[alum73]

So, where's Megan? Anyone hear anything?

[Phoenix]

From Santillo: "according to a UAlbany athletics spokesperson, Megan Craig (10.6 ppg) didn't play vs NJIT because "she was taking a test" - should play Sun."

Of course, the regional will be hosted by the MAAC

Obviously hockey will have a better host, but If Albany reaches Dr McElroy's goal that year and plays there it won't matter who the host is

Women's RPI drops to #68 despite the blemishless record.

Men's RPI has jumped up to #105.

 

It should be interesting to see how that plays out, but conference play should hurt the RPI less for the women than for the men, because they are playing in a comparatively more competitive league.

The difference should be almost insignificant, the bottom half or two thirds of both are terrible - what will help the Women the most is the Duke game, no matter if it is a W or L it will help their SOS and will be the only team with a winning record in their OOC schedule.

 

A win aganinst Duke or atleast a very strong showing may get the women some AP Top 25 votes, even a loss verse Duke will help their RPI especially because it's on the road.
