First Time for Everything
Thursday’s game will be the first ever matchup between the Pirates and the Great Danes.
What We’ve Seen So Far
The Great Danes have one win and one loss heading into South Orange. The team started on the road with a win at Niagara last Thursday, downing the Purple Eagles 3-2. On Sunday, however, the visiting LIU Sharks got the better of the Great Danes in a 1-0 victory at Casey Stadium.
Two different Great Danes have recorded goals thus far in Timo Jansen and Pedro Lucas. Jansen has also added an assist for a total of three points on the season. The third goal scored in last week’s win at Niagara was an own goal for the purple Eagles, awarded to the UAlbany team as a whole. IN net, Daniel Shannon has played every minute while collecting 10 saves.
Scouting Seton Hall
Thursday’s matchup will be the second of the year for the Pirates, who enter with an overall record of 1-0 after beating Florida International, 1-0, down in Miami. Junior Agustin Resch was credited with the lone goal. In that game, Seton Hall led in shots with 12 and shots on goal with nine to FIU’s 10 shots and three shots on goal. Resch and Dall’Agnol accounted for four of Seton Hall’s nine shots on goal. Junior goalkeeper Matias Molina made three saves in net for his first career clean sheet.
Heading into the season, Seton Hall was picked to finish fifth in the BIG EAST’s East Division and ninth overall.
New Faces
In early August, head coach Trevor Gorman announced the addition of 12 new student-athletes to the team ahead of the 2024 season.
“We are excited to add these players to our UAlbany program,” said Gorman. “Some joined us in January and experienced the spring semester adapting to our system and others will join us this fall. It’s a talented group that cover all positions on the pitch and have a good variety of characteristics. We look forward to welcoming each of them into our Great Dane family and look forward to seeing their contributions this fall and beyond.”
