It has been quite some time since I have had a free second to sit down and just right my thoughts on the world of sports so I figured I had some time so I am trying to get back in the swing of things.
First things first, I have been named VIC Sports Director here at Ithaca College so my duties at school now stem out even further than just being a student and a student broadcaster. I am thrilled to be named to this position and I am thoroughly ready to take on the jobs and responsibilities of the position. One week left and I am home for the summer and away from the busy scene of Ithaca. I need a nice long break.
Alright, enough crap about myself and onto sports. We will start out here in Ithaca where the spring season is coming to a close for all the D3 teams here at IC.
The softball team won their conference and are hosting the double elimination tournament for the top 4 teams in the Empire 8 this weekend starting today. Game 1 is complete as St. John Fisher took down Alfred in an extra inning game 3-2 in the opener. That now puts Alfred in the first chance for elimination at 2 pm today from Kostrinsky Field. IC, the #1 seed, is taking on the #4 seed RIT right now and the winner of that game will play SJF at 4 pm with the loser taking on Alfred at 2 pm. IC is favored to win this first game against RIT but if they do lose, it could be interesting as Alfred is the #2 seed and really gave IC a run for their money in the regular season. Very close games between the two schools both falling in Ithaca's favor but could have easily went the other way. Tomorrow will leave the 3 teams left. If IC wins both games today, they will play at 1 pm tomorrow for their first chance at the title. If they go 1-1 today, they will have to play at 11 am, 1 pm and 3 pm tomorrow to win the tournament. Check back later for updates.
For the Men's LAX team, they play this afternoon at 4 pm in the semifinals of the E8 tournament here at IC at the Upper Terrece field. They will be taking on Nazareth and that game can be listened to live on 92 WICB. Greg Torlone and Steve Bond will have the call at 4 pm. http://www.wicb.org
The baseball team does not have a league tournament but will be hoping for an at large bid into the regionals of the NCAA Tournament. I will keep everyone posted.
That's all for now...check back later.
