ALBANY The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team will jump out of the fire and back into the frying pan for Sunday brunch this week.
The Great Danes took a break from conference play for a game in the typically hot, stuffy Carrier Dome on Thursday for a game against Syracuse, but will mix it up in the America East the rest of the way, starting with UMBC at noon on Sunday at Casey Stadium.
Only one game separates the top five teams in the conference, and UAlbany (3-2 AE, 5-3 overall) and UMBC (4-1, 5-1) are two of them, so this is important pivot point on the Great Danes’ season, if they are to secure a high seed in the conference tournament.

If there’s such a thing as a reverse-Samson at the hair salon, Scott Marr hopes he got one.
The UAlbany men’s lacrosse head coach showed up for his weekly Zoom conference on Wednesday with a fresh cut “Just a change,” he said.
“We’ve had so much going on the last couple weeks, I just felt like, energy-wise and mojo-wise, it was time to cut it and just move on.”
What the Great Danes are trying to move on from is the dismissal of star attack Tehoka Nanticoke, and they’ll do so this week by moving headlong into what should be a highly motivated Syracuse team hungry to shake off two straight losses that dropped the Orange from No. 2 in the country to No. 9.
