No refs, no record.
Love `em or hate `em, you can't have a
basketball game without refs.
Which was bad news for anyone who traveled to Skidmore on Tuesday to
see if senior guard Aaron Galletta would break the College's
all-time scoring record.
There were no officials for the game.
Galletta, a managerial economics major from
Hyde Park is just 23 points shy of the record of 1,790 points
set by Joe Cardany '81. Galletta has averaged 24.1 points
per game this year, 17.8 per game over his Union career.
Those hoping to see Galletta get the record
should come to Memorial Fieldhouse on Friday at 8 p.m. for
the game against St. Lawrence, or on Saturday at 4
p.m. against Clarkson.
The Skidmore game has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m.
(at Skidmore).
The men are 14-6 overall, 7-2 in UCAA play.
Meanwhile, there were referees for the
women's game against Skidmore on Tuesday, and the cagers
got a 71 to 57 win to bring their record to 12-8/4-5 UCAA.
Senior Heather Bennett became the sixth member
of the 1,000-point club and Katie Smith moved into a
flat-footed tie for second place on the Dutchwomen's
all-time scoring list.
Bennett, a Latin American studies major from Westwood, Mass., scored
16 points and pulled down eight rebounds and now has
1,004 points and 821 boards, only the third woman ever
to surpass 1,000 points and 800 rebounds.
Smith, an economics major from Delmar, is tied with Andrea Pagnozzi '94
at 1,324 points. A four-year starter for the soccer
team, Smith ended her career second on that team's
all-time scoring list with 95 points.
