I don't know if it changed, but isn't SUNY Canton still a 2 year school / Juco type program? Of all the non D1 SUNY teams to play they could have scheduled HVCC or Sage or something... Why Canton?

D3 program...four year.

 State University of New York College of Technology at Canton, awarding bachelor's  degrees since 1997.

Member of the North Atlantic Conference, as Wiki says Potsdam and Plattsburgh are blocking their admission to SUNYAC.

Why did they schedule Canton? My guess would be some kind of coaching connection somewhere between the 2 staffs. Agree on HVCC .Almost seems like a local natural, Troy vs. Albany. Don’t think they should reschedule this game though. Getting close to conference time.

Thanks for the answers guys. I grew up in Potsdam and my Mom was a professor at SUNY Canton, but she retired in 97 and I left upstate to move to Albany a few years before that. Never paid attention to the schools there. I remember the "ATC" days....

Cent. Conn. St. next up for our ladies. CCS is 2-6. Pretty tough schedule, with losses to a real good Quinnipiac team, U-Mass, Rutgers, and Syracuse. Have played 3 AE teams: lost to U-Mass Lowell and NJIT by 7 and beat an 0-10 Hartford team by 23. They have an interim head coach and a junior guard (# 1) named Forever Toppin. That’s right, Forever. BTW our Freja Werth named AE Rookie of the Week.

Watched some of their game vs Hartford last week. CCSU shot 37 (!) three-pointers, making 16. They average 26

[tnehurley]

I guess you can live by the 3 against teams like Hartford. Hopefully they won’t get off 26 or more of them against us. Would be nice to get a win, go to 6-4 and then open up AE play against those Hartford Hawks. Usually go to Hartford for weekend afternoon games, but Thursday at 5:oo might be a problem. We’ll see.

When I went to download my ticket, it showed a game vs Union for 12/28, which does not appear on the website.  I don't know why a game would be inserted 2 days before the conference opener, but, then again, what do I know?

There was a tweet on the women's basketball account after last Saturday game got cancelled that they were looking for a game vs a D3 on 12/28 to replace the cancelled game. What happened if anything after that, I didn't see

[UAalum72]

Up 14-2 at the quarter, still up 17 after three, then CCSU went full-court for the 4th quarter. Don't think they ever got closer than 8. 65-52 win. Felt like there were four timeouts and a couple of fouls in the last 35 seconds.

[tnehurley]

Well, CCS did not hit 16 3’s tonight. Made 4. Don’t think they even took 16? Their coach tried to draw up an 11 point play with 16 seconds left. Did not work. Abby Robinson good tonight off the bench—8 pts. We do really need to improve against full court pressure. On to AE play.

[tnehurley]

I asked Nate Mason about the possible Union game on the 28th and he said it was not a done deal yet. They are reviewing COVID protocols. We will get an email if it becomes official and you can use either the UA-Canton ticket or the UA-UNION ticket for the game.

Another win at home against CCSU... one area of concern, Kayla Cooper gets to the free throw line more than any other  lady Great Dane, however, she has the lowest free throw percentage (currently at 45%).  Hope this will improve as the season progresses.

 

[tnehurley]

Agree about Kayla. Real good player, lots of energy. A scorer. She has a real good stroke from the floor—her short, turn-around jump shots are high percentage. Hasn’t translated that stroke to the FT line though. Have to believe that it will as we move forward.

I remember hearing the same about Blake Metcalf's FT. Don't think it ever happened
