After an extremely successful fall sports season that saw the men's soccer team earn a GNAC title, and the women's volleyball and soccer teams earn ECAC tournament berths; the winter season is fast approaching. Both the women's and men's basketball programs begin their seasons later this week with success on their minds.
Thursday night at 6:00 PM the women's team, led by new head coach J.R. Fredette will take on St. Joe's Long Island here at Albertus Magnus College. The women's team is coming off its best season in the last eight years, and will look to improve on that success with many starters returning for this year's campaign. The Falcons lost to St. Joe's Long Island last year on the road, and will look for the support of the home crowd to push them to a season opening victory, Thursday night.
The men open up the season on the road, and despite the loss of star forward Ray Askew, the Falcons look to be an even tougher matchup for many teams than they were last season. The men's home opener will take place on Sunday November 25th at 1:00 PM, against Weslyan Connecticut. The men earned votes in the Division III national polls and with a few early season wins, could see themselves back in the top 25 for the second straight season.
Throughout both the men's and women's seasons, I will be working as the in-game public address announcer, calling out points, fouls and timeouts. So get out to the games this year Falcon fans, because our school's athletic dominance will continue, as our basketball programs chase after a GNAC title.
