Catching Up

Alrighty, it has been long enough since our last posting so I am trying to catch up on a few weeks of back-up. We came off of our Winter Training in beautiful Olean with a dual meet on Jan 17 at Binghamton that resuted in a real stinker. Even though I had held out hope that training short course would result in some better post training results, it was not to be with a lack-luster but expected set of results which resulting in a 129-110 defeat at the hands of a well prepared Binghamton squad. Next we hosted Georgetown on Jan 24th and freshened up a bit with a much sharper meet and a 183-114 victory over the Hoyas.

Here are links to both of those results:

Today, Friday, we are heading to The University at Buffalo for a 6:00 dual meet that could prove to be a real shootout. A very strong UB team that won the Akron Invite should be a good matchup for us at this point of the season. I would anticipate solid times from both teams as we look forward to seeing what we have to offer in a quality facility.

We're Baaaaaaack!!!

Yes we are back on the grounds of old SBU for some down home cooking both in the water and at the Hickey Dining Hall. We are not migrating with the vast array of teams that head South and are "old schooling" it this year. We are getting back to basics and going to find out what kind of toughness this group has over this long break. The team arrived back on Saturday and we are back in the water. Now is the time for the alums to come through with their favorite Winter Training Sets!!! I already know that Chris Devlin will reference some 400 set that was impossible but throw them out there. We have plenty of time to get all of them in, in some form and it adds to the aura as they can get a taste of the way it was!!! I hope everyone had a great Holiday and that 2009 brings joy and happiness to you and those close to you.
