I remember watching the playoff game - think it was against Notre Dame when we lost every face off (so it seemed). Did we add a face off specialist?

[reeder]

Also, seems like there are a lot of road games - (5 home and 10 away).

I was at that ND game. Painful to watch the lead evaporate because they couldn't win a face-off down the stretch.

 

I think they are hoping for Connor Russell to grow into the face-off specialist role. He was only a freshman last year so let's hope we see some improvement from him in year two.

 

Also looks like they brought in another FO specialist, Freshman Cason Liles per the roster page.

Sounds like the Oakes kid will play right away.

 

Lyle, Fields, Oakes as the starting attack most likely.

Any update on these transfers? Not listed on roster yet?

Albany 12th in Coaches' Poll http://www.ualbanysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=209846020&DB_OEM_ID=15800

 

On our 15-game regular season schedule, six teams are ranked - #4 Syracuse, #10 Cornell, #11 Harvard, #15 Yale, #16 Drexel and #19 Bryant - plus UMass receiving votes. Yale and UMass are the only ones of those at home.

I wonder if UA will get any nationally televised games this season. Only had one last season and we had the Thompson Trio.
