For the second week in a row, the UAlbany men’s lacrosse team got off to a slow start.
One twist not in the Great Danes’ favor this time was that Jakob Patterson wasn’t in uniform.
And they were playing Vermont, a team against which you’re going to need every resource at your disposal.
The Catamounts took a 10-4 lead at halftime, and a UAlbany comeback fell short, as the Great Danes fell to 2-1 with a 14-12 loss to their America East rival.

Elijah Gash a Diamond in the Rough at Albany
Fri Mar 12 2021 | Nelson Rice | College
Elijah Gash collected the ground ball and saw an open lane of turf in front of him. He didn’t hesitate, sprinting from Albany’s restraining line and into the offensive end. He face dodged one Hartford defenseman, then ran over another to score his first Division I goal and give Albany a 13-5 lead midway through the fourth quarter.
The Great Danes went nuts after the long pole goal. The Hawks called a timeout to regroup.
“I grew up wanting to play at the highest level, and I’m here now,” Gash said earlier this week after the 16-6 win. “Just being able to celebrate with the guys after [the goal] was unreal. I can’t really explain it, you know?”

ALBANY The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team gets a turbo boost on offense this weekend.
The defense, meanwhile, has already hit its stride, based on how the back line performed in a 15-9 victory over Colgate at Fallon Field last Saturday.
The Great Danes returned 11 players to the lineup this week after they had missed the season opener because of COVID-19 protocols, among them Tehoka Nanticoke and Graydon Hogg.
So when UAlbany plays Hartford Saturday on the road at noon, the Hawks face a daunting challenge stopping a starting attack that includes Nanticoke, Jakob Patterson and freshman Camden Hay.
