When North Tonawanda lines up against the Baldwinsville Bees in tonight’s Class AA state semifinal, the Lumberjacks will be looking square into the eyes of the biggest linemen they’ve seen all year. Casey Shreve says bring it on.....more>>
We continue our discussion with College Hockey America commissioner Ed McLaughlin with a look at Niagara’s hockey program and next year’s move to college hockey. This is the second half of the interview.
University at Buffalo tailback Brandon Thermilus ran it 11 times for 126 yards and two scores and added a 29-yard touchdown reception the Bulls beat Miami (Ohio) 42-17 in a Mid-American Conference football contest on national television Wednesday.
Once they woke up Tuesday, the Niagara University Purple Eagles looked a lot like the men’s basketball team that won 26 games last year. Only deeper. And a bit hungrier.
Silver might have been the color most prevalent Tuesday at Niagara University — from the Purple Eagles’ new uniforms, Frank Layden’s all-salt-and-no-pepper mane, to the pinstripes in Calvin Murphy’s black suit. But while silver shaped the mood, the morning was simply golden.
Niagara coach Joe Mihalich said the bulky walking boot that Tyrone Lewis is wearing makes his injury look worse than it is, but didn’t sound confidant that the senior guard will be back on the court by the end of the week.
For a guy who’d sparingly touched the scoresheet through his first three seasons, something about his senior year has given Ryan Olidis the chance to flourish.
It’s hard to imagine now, 16 sectional and two state titles later, but there was a time, six years ago, when a young Marissa Dressel was intimidated by the attention and competition at the big swim meets.
Rob Garrison remembers scoring “30 or 40 points” the last time he played a basketball game at 8 a.m. He might be embellishing a bit however, since that was in the Niagara Falls Biddy League, at least a dozen years ago.
Listening to Niagara coach Joe Mihalich after Monday’s practice, one got the impression that Tyrone Lewis might play in today’s home opener, despite an injured left ankle.
If the Buffalo-Niagara region takes half as much interest in Greg Gamble’s professional basketball team as it did his high school squad, Vincent Lesh will be very happy.
This year’s inductees include the first player ever to play in a Division I ice hockey game with a prosthetic limb, the current Marauders baseball coach, and the driving force behind the creation of the Sports Hall of Fame.
Adorned in matching multi-colored Nike kicks, the Kenmore West quartet of Marissa Dressel, Haley Rice, Lindsey Sagasta and Leah Villari stepped up to the blocks for Saturday’s freestyle relays. An hour later, the foursome was collecting its hardware as repeat Section VI champions at Erie Community College’s Flickinger Center.
The Niagara Falls connection to University at Buffalo basketball will likely continue beyond this year. UB coach Reggie Witherspoon confirmed this week that he plans to redshirt senior point guard Byron Mulkey this year, and preserve the Niagara-Wheatfield graduate’s final season of eligibility for the 2010-11 campaign.
The Niagara University women’s hockey team wore pink uniforms in support of breast health awareness Saturday night, and the players paid tribute to anyone ever affected by breast cancer with their on-ice performance in a 3-1 College Hockey America win over Robert Morris in front of 718 fans at Dwyer Arena.
The Purple Eagles still couldn’t manage that elusive first victory as Trevor Lewis scored with just four minutes remaining, getting the host Colonials a tie in College Hockey America action.
The Barker boys cross country team placed five runners in the top 40 on its way to the Class D state championship Saturday at Plattsburgh State. The Raiders, Section VI champions, scored 66 points — 10 better than second-place Beaver River.
Sure, the No. 2 seed in next weekend’s Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament was already wrapped up. But that didn’t mean the Niagara University women’s volleyball team was about to take Saturday’s MAAC regular-season finale for granted. Certainly not with arch-rival Canisius invading the Gallagher Center.
North Tonawanda's depth has been impressive all season. They needed it Saturday night to survive their toughest test yet, a 26-24 victory over Webster Schroeder in the Class AA Far West Regional at Marina Auto Stadium.
The Niagara University women’s basketball team was looking to get halfway toward its regular-season win total of last year — when they went 2-27 — with a season-opening victory at the Gallagher Center Friday night, but Kourtney Brown and the University at Buffalo Lady Bulls would have none of it.
North Tonawanda’s 200 free relay had a big performance as the quartet of Andrea Parish, Madison Wawrzynek, Stephanie Vogel and Staci Czaja set a school record time of 1:43.21. The previous mark was 1:43.48.
As a North Tonawanda resident and publisher of Western New York Hockey Magazine, Steve Manson has been waiting patiently for the Sabres to bring the Stanley Cup to Buffalo. Since they’ve yet to do it, he and his work compadres decided to do it for them.
Looks like the tough non-conference schedule the Niagara men’s hockey team played in preparation for its final run through College Hockey America offered the wrong type of education.
