UAlbany

The Montreal Alouettes have signed University of Albany star defensive end/linebacker Eli Mencer. Mencer was a massive part of the Great Danes team that made it to the second round of the 2019 FCS playoffs. Mencer joins Albany Empire star wide receiver Malachi Jones on the Alouettes, making Montreal the most Albany team in the Canadian Football League.

Spring sports are scheduled to make their return to the Capital Region. The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Council of Presidents has approved the schedule for Spring sports. Soccer, volleyball, water polo, baseball, softball, and lacrosse all have competition scheduled to begin this March.

Coach Greg Gattuso shared the challenges facing teams recruiting high school athletes during this COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 UAlbany Men's Basketball season has been so stop and go that even the most optimistic fan was starting to worry we'd never get to this moment where the Great Danes were about to play.

Coach Will Brown joined Levack and Goz with the details of how we got to the point and how the multiple "pauses" could change his coaching style.
