Stony Brook (6-5-1, 0-1-0 America East) tries to recapture its hot play
as it heads to Albany (4-6-0, 0-1-0) for a Saturday morning conference matchup.
Both these squads head into Saturday’s match coming off of losses to
conference foes last weekend. The Seawolves lost their six-game unbeaten streak
when they fell at home to Boston U., 2-1. The Seawolves avoided the shutout,
converting on a penalty kick in the 90th minute.
The last time out for Albany, the Great Danes dropped a heartbreaker at
Hartford, 1-0, when they gave up a goal in the 90th minute. The loss was the
fourth-straight for Albany, which is looking for its first conference win since
October 2008.
Stony Brook won last year’s match between these two clubs, 1-0.
Hartford at Boston U., 2 p.m. -- Live Stats | Live Video | Live Audio
Boston University (6-3-3, 1-0-0 America East) looks to extend its three-game
winning streak as it hosts Hartford (3-5-0, 1-0-0 America East) in a match
between America East unbeatens.
The Terriers and Hawks match up for the second time in the 2010 season.
The two teams met in West Hartford for a non-conference game on September 4.
Boston U. won that game, 3-0. The Hawks will look to return the favor and win
on the Terriers’ home field. Hartford has not won a road game yet this season.
Both teams enter this game coming off conference wins. Boston U. topped
Stony Brook, 2-1, with the only Seawolves goal coming on a penalty kick in the
90th minute. Hartford won its match against Albany in the 90th
minute when junior forward Patrick Boucher netted his second goal of the
season.
UMBC at New Hampshire, 7 p.m. -- Live Stats
UMBC (5-3-1, 0-0-1 America East) and New Hampshire (5-2-2, 0-1-0
America East) get back into America East play with a conference matchup in
Durham, N.H., on Saturday night.
UMBC comes into the match after topping Bucknell, 2-1, in a
non-conference match on Tuesday night. In their last conference game, the
Retrievers surrendered a late goal to Binghamton that tied the game and forced
a draw.
New Hampshire also is coming off a non-conference game. However, the
Wildcats dropped their match, 2-0, to No. 18 Michigan State. The loss was the
second in a row for the Wildcats.
The last time these teams faced each other was in the 2009 conference
semifinals. That match resulted in a championship berth for the Retrievers, who
beat the Wildcats, 2-1.
Vermont at Binghamton, 7 p.m. -- Live Video
Vermont (6-3-3, 1-0-0 America East) looks to recover from a
non-conference loss as it gets back to America East play on the road at
Binghamton (2-4-3, 0-0-1 America East).
The Catamounts enter the game after having lost, 3-2, to Dartmouth in
heartbreaking fashion. Vermont held a 2-1 advantage over the Big Green, but
gave up two late goals less than one minute apart to lose the lead and the
match. The Catamounts did win their conference opener against New Hampshire,
handing the Wildcats their first loss of the season.
Binghamton comes into the match riding a five-game unbeaten streak.
Most recently, the Bearcats came back to tie UMBC with a goal by sophomore
forward Jake Keegan in the 82nd minute. The game, which was the conference
