New for the 2011-2012 seasons the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap theh previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provide links to recaps, previews, features and exclusive coverage.

We'll start with action last night on the soccer pitch where four men’s soccer teams jockeyed for position in the conference standings. New Hampshire hosted Hartford in a battle of two teams right in the middle of the pack. UNH grabbed an early lead but the Hawks tallied the equalizer in the second half and the game would end in 1-1 draw. UMBC looked to stay perfect in conference, taking on Binghamton. The Bearcats had multiple scoring opportunities – quality looks at net – but UMBC’s Pete Caringi III scored on a PK in the 41^st minute for the only goal of the night in a 1-0 Retriever win.

Two more men’s soccer matches this evening. An intriguing battle in Burlington, where Vermont hosts Boston U. Both the Catamounts and Terriers are coming off tough one-goal defeats. Also, Albany will travel to Stony Brook to take on the Seawolves.

And lastly, one final volleyball non-conference match, Stony Brook plays Long Island on the road.
