Before the Siena bus departs, Saints coach Ali Jaques stands near her seat in the front and counts to ensure that everyone has boarded.
That task won’t take long today.
Siena a team that has spent nearly half this season in quarantine will have only six players aboard when the bus rolls away from the Saints’ campus in Loudonville, for the trip to Monmouth today. The total travel party is 10: the players, two coaches, an athletic trainer and a bus driver.
That’s it.
“The novelty of it, I think it’s a thing you have to accept,” Jaques said. “We’re in this weird situation and we have to accept what it is and then understand how we can be successful and find opportunity in that situation.”
