PREVIEW! Eight Teams in Action This Weekend

Eight different teams are in competition this weekend with four of them hosting contests. The action in the Capital District starts with women's lacrosse taking on Vassar on Friday at 4pm. Women's tennis faces Vassar at 2pm at Tri-City Fitness and baseball hosts Skidmore at the same time in Troy. Sunday's home event is a softball twin bill (1pm), while baseball travels to Skidmore (12pm). The softball doubleheader originally scheduled for Saturday has been moved to Monday and the baseball games were flipped because of the weather.

Women's and men's track & field, No. 10 men's lacrosse and No. 27 men's tennis also compete and all are on the road. Unfortunately, the golf tournament has been canceled due to unplayable conditions on the course.
