Danes Upend Union College in Final Game of Season


Schenectady, NY - The Danes finished off the season with a road win against rival Union College, 22-5. The Danes relied on a balanced attack to keep Union at bay for most of the game. Albany's forwards pounded it up the gut making many long breaks. When the outside was available the Danes took the opportunity with a break by Genaro and a feed to Rob Schafsteck for a score in the corner. Center Mike Cyr would score off scrum ball whith crash ball set up by Billy Fenwick misdirection.

Albany honored the 3 seniors that played today by making them game captains. Cairin O'Hara, Casey Leahey ,Jack Reissman and injured Brian Stonaker all ended exceptional careers at Albany and will be missed both on and off the field.
