SOCCER NOTES:

(MEN)

The Great Danes and New Haven battled to a tie for the second straight year ...
Sunday's match was a scoreless after overtime, while last year's 1-1 tie was
halted in the second half by a driving rainstorm ... Kevin Koscielniak scored his
fifth goal of the season at 31:11, as Albany upended Rensselaer, which was
ranked 12th nationally in Division Ill ... freshman goalkeeper Dean deFreitas
recorded two shutouts and had 18 saves, including one off a penalty shot, in
three starts last week ... Albany is 3-0-2 in its last five matches with Franklin
Pierce and top-ranked Southern Connecticut State on the horizon ...

(WOMEN)

Tara Ford scored twice, including the game-winner nine minutes into the final
period in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Russell Sage ... Ford, a junior midfielder,
had just one assist on the season previous to that match ...
