UMass Lowell 2022-2023: Valley Steamroller Edition

[ScottK]

What the hell's been going on in our athletic department? I don't know if this only impacts soccer, or all programs, but a two-year probation? I know this happened a while back (and I had no idea), but with this news coming after the news about Harring, this just isn't a good look.

Reading the NCAA report on it, it looks like the soccer coach just didn't care about NCAA rules and wouldn't cooperate with the investigation. Since Lowell self-reported and came up with the penalties on their own, the NCAA accepted it.

I'll have to read the report and this is not to excuse any action but given something else I read recently and the general tenor of college athletics I get the feeling soccer programs try to get away with a lot hairier things than some of the other college sports owing a lot to international recruiting. This isn't to blame recruiting internationals as such but that often seems to be the nexus.

Two year probation is going to suck but only if something else happens

NHL camps open over the next few days, and while not everyone has released their training camp roster yet, it looks like there are 9 former RiverHawks in NHL Camps:


Seth Barton - New York Rangers
Carl Berglund - Edmonton
Matt Brown - Philadelphia
Lucas Condotta - Montreal
Joe Gambardella - New Jersey
Gustavs Davis-Grigals - Nashville
Connor Hellebuyck - Winnipeg
Andre Lee - Los Angeles
Chad Ruhwedel - Pittsburgh
