Hey guys, the Autistic Sports Nerd here. The Olympics are over, spring training is on the way, the NHL resumes and there is a lot of buzz going around campus about our sports teams.
UC Women's Basketball
Congratulations to the Utica College Pioneers Women's Basketball team, as they have earned their second Empire 8 Conference championship in the last three seasons.
They defeated the number two seed, Stevens, in the semifinals and defeated the number one seed, Ithaca, in the championship game. The Pioneers scored the game winning basket at the buzzer to win the championship. The final scorew was 38-37.
The Pioneers have earned the right to go to the NCAA tournament. They will play Maravian in the first round on Friday night at 7 p.m. Moravian has won 20 straight games so it will be a difficult test for the Pioneers. Best of luck to Utica College in the tournament.
UC Women's Hockey
After a slow start to their season, the UC Women's Hockey team is peaking at the right time. They won their last three regular season games. Thanks to their hot streak, they were able to host a playoff game against Neumann at the AUD this past Monday night. The Pioneers won 4-1 and will travel to take on the number one team in the nation, Plattsburgh, on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.
Good luck, Pioneers! Hopefully you guys pull off the upset!
UC Men's Hockey
The men's hockey team lost to host Neumann in the ECAC West quarterfinals 3-1. Tough break. Hopefully, we do better next season. Elmira beat Neumann and Manhattanville beat Hobart in the semi-final matches so it will be Elmira hosting Manhattanville in the championship game this Saturday Night.
Lebanon Valley dropped out of Division III, as they will now be a club team. They were in our conference so our schedule next year will be changed. I'm just not sure how. I should know by next week, and I will let you guys now.
The Heart Run and Walk
The Heart Run and Walk is this Saturday. This is an event where there is running an walking, but most importantly of all, donating to fight against heart disease and stroke.
