CIRCLE THESE DATES
3/2 at UAlbany: I'm a big fan of seeing this game happen between the two Capital Region programs. It'll be the first time they've gotten together for a regular season game since 2016 and there's plenty of Great Dane ties at Siena. The entire coaching staff (excluding undergrad assistants) are UAlbany alums, led by head coach Liam Gleason.
4/22 at Monmouth: Last season could've been a lot different for the Saints. Seven of their eight games were decided by two goals or less. Four of them were decided by a goal with two needing overtime. Both Monmouth games were decided by a goal, with the regular season meeting being decided in overtime. Does Siena have enough to turn those close losses into wins?
4/30 vs. Quinnipiac: The second half of Siena's conference schedule is all at home, including the regular season finale against the Bobcats. Quinnipiac went on a three-goal run in the third quarter en route to a 7-5 low-scoring game. Hoping we see more than 12 goals combined this year.
