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

Tonight in men’s soccer action, UMBC hosts Penn State at Retriever Soccer Park. The game will be televised on ABC 2’s digital channel (Live Well Network). Last season, UMBC defeated then No. 23 Penn State, 2-1, in overtime.

We’ve also got a busy night on the fields and courts with games in women’s soccer, field hockey and volleyball.

The No. 16 Boston U. women’s soccer team looks to win its tenth straight game, and stay perfect at Nickerson Field this season, against Dartmouth. In field hockey, No. 16 Boston U. travels to Storrs, Conn., to take on the fourth-ranked UConn Huskies. And in volleyball, Albany looks to get back on the winning track against Colgate on the road, Binghamton hosts Syracuse and Providence welcomes Rhode Island rival, Bryant.
