A Canisius Update



I've been slacking in my update of Canisius College Athletics which I feel ashamed of. Well not really since its depressing most times. But here we go with a summary of the past week or so of action.

Mens Basketball

The Men are back to their losing ways with a pair of losses on the road first on Friday to St Peters 65 to 54. Where Pawel Malesa was the leading scorer with 11 points. Seriously the Polish Rifle shouldn't be leading the team in points. Hes basically a DH. He hits big shots and doesn't play defense. Then headed to Rider, where they got Bronced, 102-51. Holy crap losing by 51 to Rider is totally unacceptable THEY ARE 9 and 6! Even with 51 points Elton Frazier scored 22 points. Maybe adopting the Ole defense is a bad strategy.

Griffs are now 2-12 on the year and 0-4 in the MAAC

Womens Basketball

Now a team that can win a few games. Well since the start of the New Year the ladies have gone 1-1 with a win over Rhode Island and a loss to Siena. I'm sorry for not updating more on the ladies, they do show some talent and defense and the ability to win the occasional game. Its a two horse race to be the leading scorer with Russell leading Cavo by 12 points on the year. Both will score in the 300 range. The ladies will make a home stand starting this thursday with Fairfield, then Iona on Saturday and the Double header against Niagara next Friday.

Hockey

Unlike another hockey team in town, this team can't lose and haven't since 12/1/2007. Of course they 5 games and tied 3 of them. But hey they haven't lost in over a month. Good for you guys. With a big win over Niagara mixed in and a Win over Bentley last Saturday. This recent stroke of decent play has brought them to 5-10-5 and are 4-0-1 at home. Which is a good sign, because once you step into the Buffalo State Sports Arena you are Griff food. Anyway. The Griffs play a weekend match with UConn at the Pepsi Center. Check em out. Its fun hockey.

Till next time.
