Two Consecutive Road Days For Softball<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

ALBANY, N.Y. \u2013<\/strong> With the regular season winding to a close, and all home games on the schedule completed, the University at Albany softball program hits the road for the final six remaining games before the postseason begins.\u00a0 The first three games of the six feature rematches with teams UAlbany (25-10, 11-3) has already played this season.\u00a0 Tomorrow, the Danes will play one game at Siena (25-19), and on Wednesday the team will head south to West Point to play a doubleheader with Army (22-22).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe rematches offer a better indication of how far we have come this season,\u201d said head coach Chris Cannata<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a better gauge of how we are progressing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany actually opened its home schedule this year against Siena, after the original opening series against Binghamton was postponed due to inclement weather.\u00a0 UAlbany swept the doubleheader that day, winning the first game 6-1 and the second game 10-7.\u00a0 The Danes played Army even earlier in the season, at the Rebel Spring Games back in March.\u00a0 Army took the first game 2-0 and UAlbany won the second 6-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t hit well against Siena,\u201d said Cannata, \u201cand I don\u2019t think we played particularly well against Army.\u00a0 But we\u2019re starting to hit better, and hit for power.\u00a0 We just need to try to make better adjustments during games.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In many of their games this season, UAlbany has managed to put points on the board in the first inning, taking early leads and getting the engine going offensively.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been important for us to score early,\u201d said Cannata.\u00a0 \u201cIt sets the tone for the game, and allows our players to relax a bit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The America East tournament quickly approaches, and is scheduled to kick off on Thursday, May 8.\u00a0 The remaining regular season schedule has been adjusted somewhat, and UAlbany will now play their final series on Friday and Saturday, instead of Saturday and Sunday, in case weather delays some of the games.\u00a0 This way, teams won\u2019t have to stick around on a Monday to finish a series that may eventually determine seeding in the tournament.\u00a0 For now, Coach Cannata is looking to keep her team focused and ready.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to sharpen up a bit defensively in this last week,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cThere are still some things we can do better defensively.\u00a0 And we need to keep our hitters in rhythm, now that we\u2019ve started to hit a bit more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Siena game kicks off tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.\u00a0 Wednesday, the first game against Army starts at 3:30 p.m., followed by the second game at 5:30 p.m.\u00a0 The Danes will depart for Baltimore on Thursday for the regular season closing series against UMBC.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
