The spring trip to Florida |

The 2010 season was unsettled from the start for the Bears. The spring trip to Florida, in which Tech was supposed to play cheap Ghd Mk4 Limestone and Florida Southern, was cancelled and it just seemed like NYIT just never found a rhythm. It didn¡¯t help that familiar face of Jake Kaley was no longer around, retiring after the ¡¯09 season. The one-goal victory over St. Anselm in the season opener raised some questions that were answered when Bentley beat the Bears on their own field. Now Bill Dunn is faced with the graduation of an 18-player senior class, which included playmaker Matt Sullivan (24g, 46a), finisher Austin Carino (43g, 3a), and middie Kevin Hennessey (19g, 12a). In all, seven of the top eight scorers are gone. The defense was not really a strength in 2010, but it may be the top unit for the Bears this coming spring with a couple of seasoned players returning. Hopefully they can get off to a better logistical start than ¡¯10, but 2011 could be a struggle for NYIT. The Panthers first season in the Northeast-10 was respectable, although they weren¡¯t real competitive with the league¡¯s big dogs. Expect that to change in 2011. Junior playmaker Danny Blau (12g, 26a) classmate Joe Vitale (22g, 11a) provide punch up front while the defense is stocked with young, but ghd straighteners experienced, players. There are two X-factors for Adelphi heading into the season. First, will sophomore Aiden Bennardo be able to step in and be effective in the cage and, second, can Joe Loria continue to improve at face-off. If those two can step up, the Panthers should be able to avoid the miserable first month of the season (losing four of the first seven games) and show the kind of talent that allowed them to win seven of the last eight. |
