Saratoga Springs High School defeated McQuaid Jesuit High School of Rochester, 5-0, Sunday to capture the New York State Division I Hockey Championship. In a game played at Utica Memorial Auditorium, the Blue Streaks captured their first state title since 1999.
At SEFCU Arena in Albany, the Great Danes upset regular-season champion Stony Brook, 61-59, on a last-second shot by Mike Black to catapult UAlbany into the championship game of the America East post-season tournament against Vermont next weekend.
The UAlbany women, now 26-3 on the season, turned back New Hampshire, 71-57, to advance to the America East women's final.
