3/25/06 Ultimate Frisbee Tournament @ East Stroudsburg, PA
The tournament in East Stroudsburg on Saturday was what Binghamton needed to start their season. We started by playing Buck Community College. They were no match for our high-powered offense and stingy defense and we won 15-6. We then played East Stroudsburg. We came out hard and played well on route to another 15-6 victory. After that game we played Bloomsburg University who were no match for us and we won that game 15-6 as well. The final game of the day matched the two undefeated teams together, Binghamton and Scranton. Scranton, who was coming off a bye, seemed to have a slight advantage over the tired Binghamton team. We lost one of our players to a prior engagement, and 3 of our other players were limited due to being sore. We kept the game tight for the first half, which Scranton took at 7-5. In the second half the exhaustion set in for us and Scranton won the game 13-8.
3/25/06 Fencing Event @ Woodstock, NY
The Woodstock Open began at 9:30am sharp. There were many foilists lounging about all excited for the tournament to begin. Women foil started things off. There were three pools with about six girls in each. Men foil started right after women, followed by women's epee, men's epee, and finally sabre. The tournament was usually quiet, without much yelling and screaming for each point. I believe this tourney was different from others that I have been to. The point of this tourney was to learn from one another and gain experience, rather than beat everyone in your weapon and claim victory. The atmosphere was one of humble respect for everyone's talent. All in all, I believe everyone had a good time and we are looking forward to going to RPI this upcoming weekend to represent the best fencing again.

3/18/06 - 3/19/06 Ultimate Frisbee Tournament @ Stony Brook University (NY)
This past weekend the Ultimate Frisbee team went to Stony Brook. The weather was bad, as was our play. We started off very slowly losing a game to Albany. We also could not get our acts together against Catholic University. When we played Hofstra we were still trying to get the kinks out, but lost a close one. In our cross-over game with the other pool, we were up against the number 1 seed Drexel University. It was a close game, but they were the victors 8-7. On Sunday we played better, but not at our full potential. We lost close games to Stony Brook and Adelphi. The tournament was a warm up for what is a very loaded spring schedule.
3/18/06 Women's Rugby Tournament @ New York City
The Women's Rugby Club was able to kick off their spring season at the annual Village Lion's Rugby Club's Four Leaf Fifteens Tournament on Randal's Island in New York City. It was a great experience for the girls all around, where the Binghamton Women's Rugby Club had the opportunity to play against two other great women's rugby clubs at this well put together tournament. The club members played a women's team from Buffalo at 9:20 A.M. followed by the women's team from New Jersey College at 11:50 A.M. Although Binghamton put up a good fight and kept their spirits high, they unfortunately lost to both teams. The final scores were 24-0 against Buffalo and 17-5 against New Jersey College. The club members of Binghamton Women's Rugby overall shared a great start to their season, and are very excited for their upcoming events.

2/24/06 - 2/26/06 Racquetball Regional Event @ Albany, NY

This weekend the Binghamton Bearcats Racquetball Club earned a Third Place Overall Team Finish and Second Place Women's finish at the 2006 ECRC (Eastern Collegiate Racquetball Conference) Northeast Regional Racquetball Championships. At this event Binghamton ousted teams including RPI, Army, Ohio State, UMass, and several SUNY schools for these finishes. Coming off a third place finish at the last ECRC league event at Penn State, the club made incredible improvements in performance, member representation, and player skill as shown by locking up another third place finish amongst much heavier competition. The event is a qualifier for the national tournament, and so draws the largest talent pool from the Northeast. The addition of many new players this year has given the team a shot of fresh new talent that, now with some tournament experience, makes the BU young guns a force to reckon with on the courts.
Leading the club and the entire region in point scoring was Christina Vandling. She has literally taken the ECRC by storm, upsetting the entire women's bracket in every ECRC event she has played this year! Christina not only solidified a women's team for Binghamton University, she has dominated the highest level Women's Division, uprooting long standing dominate players from Clarkson and Penn State. Her doubles partner Jessica Ng filled a vacant spot on the team last minute this weekend and gave the Binghamton team the extra doubles points that it needed for both of it's great victories. It simply would not have happened with out either of these first year players.
The Men's team, lead by unofficial captain and experienced player, Ryan Levering, continued to climb in the standings, with our star player Julian Ginos adding a new factor to the top Men's division and racking up critical points for the Bearcats this weekend. Julian has made vast improvements to his game this year; through many hours of practice and commitment, he has grown more than any other player on the team. The whole league has taken notice of his obvious skill increase and match up-sets as he leads the men's team in points and standing. Mike Cohen, another player upon whom the team relies for high point returns, really helped team Binghamton solidify their placement at this last ECRC event by working closely and fluidly with Christina to secure mixed doubles wins and a fourth place finish in his division. Those placements came at a cost this weekend, as Mike tore two ligaments in his final Mixed Doubles match. To sum up the accident, director Shane Wood had these words: "…Gotta give some props though (to Mike Cohen) for tearing ligaments, and still asking for the 15 minute injury timeout because he is going to go out there and finish the match." This was Cohen's last season playing racquetball for Binghamton and its tragic that he finishes it out on an injury. Finally, on the men's side three new players, Andrew Runkel, Cory Johnson, and Kevin Bojko have planted seeds for Binghamton's future success and continued excellence both on and off the courts. This trio has added missing depth to the BU club, allowing us a strong showing in the lower men's divisions. These three new players have made solid improvements in their games that add to BU's bottom line in the point standings. They also embody the best of school spirit and player quality on the courts as well as off by their loyal time and effort commitments to the club.

2/26/06 Equestrian IHSA Show @ Cornell University (NY)
Allison Levy placed first in her open flat class, earning enough points to qualify for regionals which will be held in the end of March.

2/17/06 Ice Hockey Game vs Broome Community College @ BCC
BU faced off against their cross-town rivals, BCC on Friday night. BU controlled the first period from the opening face off and controlled all aspects of play. BU tallied four goals in the first period. Goals were scored by Dave Haase on a hard low shot on the power play and Sean Marcel and John Sibbila on rebounds. Bill Woerner also scored and the Bearcats
had a 4-0 lead after one period of play. BU looked a little flat in the second period and allowed BCC to get back into them a game. The score was 6-4, in favor of BU after the second. Haase scored his second goal of the game, and so did Woerner. BU's play improved in the third and John Scavone scored off a high shot and Chris Davison scored a long empty net goal to clinch the 8-5 victory.

2/18/06 Ice Hockey Home Game vs Slippery Rock University @ Chenengo Ice Rink, 7:45 pm
The Bearcats faced off against Slippery Rock in their last league game of the season. The game would be physical and hard fought on both sides. Slippery Rock struck first scoring two goals in the first period, however the game was played closely on each side. Slippery Rock would enter the first intermission with a 2-0 lead. The second period would have its
problems for BU and they allowed Slippery Rock to score four goals to their one. Doug Centola scored the only Bearcat goal during that period, as BU found themselves down 6-1 after two periods. Most of the third period was played very tight with neither team scoring. Then with about four minutes to play in the game, BU scored from a goal by Bill Woerner.
Less than thirty seconds later, BU scored again, this time from Centola and his second of the game. The Bearcats would go on to score again, off shot from Sean Marcel to score three goals in about four minutes time. Although, BU battled back, it wouldn't be enough for victory and Slippery Rock skated to a close 6-4 win.

2/18/06 Men's Volleyball Tournament @ Ithaca College
After a disappointing showing in Buffalo last week, the team made a huge improvement. Losing the first match to Syracuse, they later went to win the next two games. After the great win over Syracuse they put up a strong fight against U of R losing both games 23-25. They later lost to Geneseo, but played very well.

2/10/06 Ice Hockey Home Game vs Syracause University @ Chenengo Ice Rink, 8:30 pm
The Bearcats faced off against Syracuse University with intentions of extending their winning streak to three. The game opened with quick play from both sides and Syracuse struck first and gained an early 2-0 lead after the first period. The Bearcats did not give up and played very well in the beginning of the second period and tied the score at two. Bryan Coughlin scored on a high shot from the point and Dave Haase scored high on a 5 on 3 power play from the goal line to tie the score. The Bearcats kept fighting and the physical play of the game heightened and led to a give minute major power play for SU. Binghamton was able to hold them to only one power play goal. Syracuse would score two more goals that period, but Sean Marcel would score for the Bearcats making the score 5-3 after the second period. The Bearcats would make the score 5-4 on Marcel's second goal of the game but it wouldn't be enough as SU would skate to a 7-4 win.
2/11/06 Ice Hockey Home Game vs Cornell University @ Chenengo Ice Rink, 1:30 pm

BU hung in with the bigger Cornell team through the first period, only down 2-0 after the first period. The game was full of penalties and stoppages and the Bearcats were unable to establish any flow. Cornell dominated BU and skated to a 12-2 victory. Bearcat goals were scored by Doug Centola and Sean Marcel.

2/4/06 Ice Hockey Away League Game vs. University of Rochester (Rochester, NY), 9pm.
The Binghamton Bearcats traveled to Rochester this weekend with a very short bench of only 9 skaters to face off against the University of Rochester. Because of the shortage of players, BU shuffled their lines and had players play at positions they don't normally play. The Bearcats opened the scoring early in the first period by a goal from Doug Centola. U of R bounced back and scored three consecutive goals and took the lead. The Bearcats did not give up and received two more goals from Centola to complete his hat trick in the first period, and another goal by Chris Davison. BU entered the second period with two goals from Rob Gilbert. Josh Case also scored on a one-timer in front of the net and BU held a 7-3 lead in between the second and third periods. The Bearcats did not let up in the third period and scored an early goal again from Doug Centola for his fourth of the game. The Bearcats played a solid team game to sustain the lead. Rochester would score later in the period but BU held on for the 8-5 victory and their second win in a row.
2/3/06- 2/5/06 Racquetball ECRC Tournament @ Penn State U. (State College, PA) vs. Penn State, RPI, Bryant, Clarkson, Oneionta.
The team had its best performance ever thanks in large part to Christina's overall woman's victory and strong finishes by Binghamton men's players. In the lower divisions helping to raise the overall score men's 2 division with Mike Cohen and Pokora also finished well, not winning any overall categories but both taking wins in key games for 3rd place. Ryan and Julian both made a strong showing in men's one division and took the most points for the men's team in the upper level play. Having a robust team at all levels has greatly increased the Bearcats overall placement in the ECRC. With over 15 schools at this event our overall 3rd place finish was incredible ousting RPI for the spot by over 150 points. The Bearcats are on this year and looking for a strong finish at the 4th and final event. Ranked 5th in the league, we are in position for a possible 3rd place finish by year-end.

1/28/06 Ice Hockey Home Game (Chenango Ice Rink) vs. Rutgers, 1:30pm
Binghamton University was able to outlast the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in a Saturday afternoon showdown. Binghamton was the first on the scoreboard a minute into the game, as Sean Marcel gave the Bearcats an early lead. About three minutes later, a shot from the point from Dan Gross put the Bearcats up by two only four minutes into the game. Binghamton was not able to build on the momentum as Rutgers surged to score four goals before the end of the first period. Despite the two goal deficit Binghamton battled back in the second period, with goals coming from Rob Gilbert and Dan Gross, with Rutgers getting a late break-away tally, maintaining a 5-4 lead to end the period. The third period was a battle to the end, as Tom Kitay got the game tying goal early into the period. Five minutes later, a flurry of offense by the Bearcats found them up by two, with goals coming from Doug Centola and a nice breakaway move from Juston Dascher-Shapiro. A Rutgers goal cut the lead to one for the Bearcats, only to have John Scavone get the eventual game winner with a breakaway midway through the period. Rutgers would desperately try to regain the win, and put in a goal with five minutes left in the contest. However, a solid effort by all the Bearcats let them hang on to the one goal lead and win the game, 8-7. Adam Leach had an excellent game in net, finishing with 41 saves on 45 shots as Binghamton got its first win of the semester, and second of the season.

We didn't play as well as we had hoped. We started slowly in our first game and were never able to recover. As the day went along, we did start to play better. It was unfortunate that we had to play some of the better teams when we were playing better. The second day we played well, but could not put together a full game, and again finished winless.
