It’s a busy weekend for the Golden Griffin sports teams with men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s swimming/diving and hockey all in action while the rest of the campus takes a break.
Men’s soccer kicks off the weekend home action with their first two conference games of the year with a match versus Fairfield on Friday (October 8) at 7 p.m. and a battle with Iona at Noon on Sunday (October 10). Both games are at the Demske Sports Complex.
The first-place women’s volleyball team looks to continue its impressive start with contests on Saturday (October 9) versus Fairfield and Sunday (October 10) versus Iona. Both matches will start at 2 p.m. in the Koessler Athletic Center each day.
Even though they aren’t home, the women’s soccer team, also sitting atop the early MAAC standings, is just a few miles up the road at Niagara for a Saturday (October 9) game at 7 p.m. The game marks the first Battle of the Bridge contest of the season between the two Little Three rivals.
Hockey opens the regular portion of its season after pounding York 11-4 last weekend in an exhibition contest. The Griffs go to Western Michigan for a weekend series with games on Friday (October 8) and Saturday (October 9) at 7 p.m. Those games can be heard on www.gogriffs.com.
The swim team also begins their season at the University of Buffalo with sessions slated for 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the WNY Invite.
