Softball Doubleheader At Colgate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. \u2013<\/strong> Following some time off due to the Easter holiday, the University at Albany softball team got back to work today in preparation for a make-up road doubleheader against Colgate on Tuesday.\u00a0 Originally scheduled for last week, as part of a two-day road trip that also included a doubleheader at Cornell, the games were rescheduled due to impending inclement weather, a factor that has plagued the team all season.\u00a0 Instead of losing games, as was the case in the beginning of the season, the Danes will be able to play both games as originally scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany (20-10, 8-3) is coming of a split of a doubleheader with Cornell.\u00a0 The Danes have emerged from arguably the most grueling stretch of their schedule, and will have more time between games from here on out to rest and recover if needed.\u00a0 The series with Colgate (9-24) is the only competition on the schedule before the Danes\u2019 second to last conference set this weekend, against conference newcomer UMass-Lowell.<\/span><\/p>\n

All season there has been difficulty in determining what to expect from opposing teams, due to the scattered nature of everyone\u2019s schedule as a consequence of the inclement weather.\u00a0 Exacerbating that problem for this series is the fact that Colgate enters the two-game set with a new coaching staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cColgate has a new head coach, and with that usually comes some philosophy changes,\u201d said head coach Chris Cannata<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cWe haven\u2019t played against this new coach before, so we don\u2019t really know what to expect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colgate has played games against common UAlbany opponents.\u00a0 Colgate split two games with Binghamton, lost three against Army, and split two games with Siena.\u00a0 UAlbany swept two against Binghamton, in a shortened series, split two with Army, and swept two against Siena.\u00a0 The Danes have two games apiece remaining with both Army and Siena later in the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven looking at the common opponents you can\u2019t really determine how you\u2019ll fare against a team,\u201d said Cannata. \u00a0\u201cThere are too many variables, and this year it has been difficult trying to figure out how good everyone actually is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The first game kicks off tomorrow in Hamilton, N.Y. at 3:00 p.m., followed by the second game at 5:00 p.m.\u00a0 This weekend, UAlbany will play its final three regular season home games, in a three game set against UMass-Lowell.\u00a0 Finally, the Danes will end the regular season with seven consecutive games on the road.\u00a0 They will play consecutive doubleheaders against Siena and Army, before wrapping things up with a three-game set at UMBC.\u00a0 The conference tournament starts on May 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
