At 8:15 pm last night, BC tweeted this announcement about its game scheduled against UNH for 4:00 pm today in Fish Field House. Kinda odd.
‘Tomorrow's game against UNH has been postponed for non-covid reasons and are looking to reschedule for a later date.
We will still be playing at Hofstra on Saturday.’
It is odd. Thanks for the heads up.
No biggie in the end. Would have been a scrimmage for all intents and purposes anyway. Poor NH, what a decline—from former national champion to...whatever you want to call where they are now.
This was the last time UNH posted anything on their Twitter account:

This is a BC thread, so sorry in advance. I started following women's lacrosse when my kid started playing, and we would go over to UNH and watch Sandy Bridgman's teams compete. They were good teams, well-coached and featured some very good players. I learned a ton watching the games, where you could stand right behind the benches and listen to the chatter from about 25 or 30 feet away. Sandy could apparently recruit and coach. Sandy resigned to do other things for a while, including coach her own kid in high school. She's now the head coach at Div 3 Plymouth State in NH.
The UNH program hired Mike Daly, who had some success at Stonehill (a Div 2 championship, I think), but that didn't work out. The school then hired Sarah Albrecht in 2012. This is the history since:
2013: 6-11
2014: 7-10
2015: 6-10
2016: 6-11
2017: 3-14
2018: 6-11
2019: 10-7
2020: 1-4, then the Plague
2021: 1-3, so far.
46-84. You see the twitter feed is dormant since the hiring of Albrecht in late 2012. There is no outreach to local youth programs that I know of, and I have been involved and around local youth and high school programs up here since 2005 or 2006. The school has forgotten the program, and is apparently OK with...I was about to type "mediocrity," but that is not fair. At this point, the program fills out some Title 9 balancing needs; its purpose appears to be for the math, not for the playing or succeeding in the AE. I understand that this is a choice that the school is making, but it is just pretty sad.
