A daily look at the Bloomsburg University Athletic teams.

Start of the First Week of Classes

Written by Bloomsburg Sports Info on 12:43 PM

Here is the Huskies Update for Monday, Aug. 31st.

Today is the start of classes at Bloomsburg for the 2009-10 school year. A crazy day trying to find a parking space!

FOOTBALL
Congrats go out to middle linebacker Anthony Smith who was named the PSAC East Defensive Player of the Week for his play against Ashland. Smith made a career-high 11 tackles in the Huskies 10-7 win over the Eagles. We'll be posting an interview with Anthony sometime tomorrow asking him about his award. Be sure to check your Twitter updates from me for when that gets posted.

FIELD HOCKEY
The Huskies ran their winning streak to 17 games dating back to last year with two wins over the weekend. Bloomsburg beat Houghton College 5-0 and Stonehill College 4-0 over the weekend. Amanda Riley scored three goals in the two games to lead the Huskies. Bloomsburg, winners of 28 of their last 29 games dating to 2007, will host Seton Hill College on Thursday at 4 p.m.

FOOTBALL FOLLOW-UP
A few folks who attended the Huskies opener with Ashland have inquired about the volume of the PA system. Sitting inside the press box I have to admit I don;t know how loud the PA sounds in the crowd. Rest assured that for the CW Post game on Sept. 26 we'll tone it down for everyone!

BU MAGAZINE
Check out the new issue of the Bloomsburg University magazine here. There is a cover story on BU quarterback Dan Latorre as well as some other sports stories.

TODAY
There is no action today for any Bloomsburg University sports team.

BIG WIN In FOOTBALL
It was a big win for the football team in front of a great crowd on Thursday as the Huskies downed Ashland by a score of 10-7. There was some great defense played by BU, especially by Anthony Smith with 11 tackles. Offensively, Dan Latorre rushed for one score and Stefan Adams gained over 100 yards. Click here to see highlights of the Ashland game.

BU is now away for three weeks and will return on Sept. 26th. Next up is Cal on Saturday, 9/5 at 7 p.m. The game will be aired on Fox Sports Pittsburgh.

The women's soccer team lost to 25th-ranked CW Post on Thursday, 4-0. The Huskies host West Chester on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

FIELD HOCKEY
The Huskies open the 2009 season with back to back home games this weekend. Bloomsburg plays Houghton College on Saturday at 1 p.m. and then face Stonehill on Sunday at noon. Come out and see the three-time defending national champs.

News from BU

Written by Bloomsburg Sports Info on 5:53 AM

Good morning...here is the Huskies Update Blog for Friday, Aug. 7.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE UNDERWAY
Practice for the 2009 football season got underway yesterday. The Huskies were picked first in the PSAC East by the coaches the other day so the target is squarely on the back of the back of BU. On our You Tube page we have posted an interview with Danny Hale about the start of practice. You can access the video clip here. Also on the You Tube site is a clip of Jesse Cooper talking about the upcoming season.

JAHRI EVANS GETS BIG PLUG
A newspaper story in New Orleans this week gave a big plug to Jahri Evans and called him the best player on the team. Read the story by clicking here.

CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK PROGRAMS HIRES TWO ASSISTANTS
The cross country and track programs made two hires recently bring Louise Duffus and Liam Smith on board as assistants. Read about these two new additions by going here.

We're Getting Closer

Written by Bloomsburg Sports Info on 10:49 AM

Good afternoon. Here is the Huskies Update for Tuesday, July 28th.

Well, we are now just 29 days away from the start of the 2009-10 sports season at Bloomsburg. On Aug. 27th the Huskies host a women's soccer game at 1 p.m. and a football game at 6 p.m. (nothing like throwing the SID office right into the fire!) I hope you are making plans to be with us that day for one of those two events. It is going to be exciting.

TWITTER
I hope you have signed up for a Twitter account and are following the Huskies. All this week we are playing BU football trivia on Twitter with the first person with the correct answer to each day's question winning two tickets to the home opener with Ashland.

FOOTBALL START TIMES
I've had a few people drop me notes about the varied start times for football this fall. The one that turns the most heads is the 5 p.m. start with Millersville. The reason for the late start time that day is not TV, but the fact that BU is hosting a large cross country invitational that day and there would be no parking for all the teams here for the meet as well as all the fans for football. Also, the 3:30 p.m. start time on homecoming went over very well last year and so everyone agreed to give it another shot. Hope that answers all the questions.

Of course...if you ever have a question about something dealing with BU athletics just drop me a line. If you have any photos of yourself showing your Husky pride, please send it to me at tmcguire@bloomu.edu and we'll use it in the blog.

Lots to Write About Today

Written by Bloomsburg Sports Info on 7:00 AM

Here is the Huskies Update for Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Lots going on as we hit the middle part of summer (although it is still much too cool for my taste!)

PASSING OF TWO INDIVIDUALS
It is with sadness that I report on the passing of two folks associated with BU athletics. The first is Dr. Preston Herring. Dr. Herring was the VP for Student Life here at Bloomsburg and helped oversee the athletic department. He was an ardent supporter of athletics and will be missed by everyone.

The other passing I have to report on is that of former swim coach Eli McLaughlin. I only got to meet Eli once or twice, but I know his former athletes truly were inspired by him and will miss his being around. Read Eli's obituary here.

YOU TUBE
Two new videos posted on the Huskies You Tube channel. One is with baseball coach Mike Collins talking about his upcoming golf outing, while the other is with former BU All-American Jahri Evans. Check out the Huskies You Tube channel here.

MARKET STREET MILE
Interim cross country coach Bernie Empie is preparing for the annual Market Street Mile race at the end of August. Check out the Huskies web site later today for a link to the application.

TWITTER CONTEST
If you haven't signed up to follow the Huskies on Twitter...do so before July 26th. The week of July 26th we'll holding a BU football trivia contest each week day with the winner (the first person to email me with the correct answer) receiving a pair of tickets to the home opener on Aug. 27th against Ashland. The questions will only be announced via Twitter with all the answers being found on the Huskies football web pages. Go to this page to sign up. Be sure to put the settings so you receive updates and our questions as text messages.

FOOTBALL TICKET PRICES
The price for an adult ticket for football this season will be $10, while students (12-18) will be $5. There will be no charge for parking this year. While it is a slight increase from last year, it is still one of the best bargins in sports since the Huskies have posted a record at Redman Stadium this decade of 45-8!

NEW INTERN IN SID OFFICE
I am pleased to announce that the SID office will now have some full-time help with the addition of Ryan Rebholz as a full-time intern. Ryan comes to BU from East Stroudsburg where he served as a grad assistant in the SID office there. He has also previously worked at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If you get to any BU sporting events hopefully you'll see Ryan running around and giving me a bit of a break!

Our next update will be the week of July 26th as I get in one more week of vacation before the start of a busy month of August. Remember....sign up for Twitter!

Moving Through July

Written by Bloomsburg Sports Info on 10:15 AM

Here is the Huskies Update for Thursday, July 9th.

Well we are rapidly moving through July getting ready for the start of another sports season.

Things are pretty quiet in athletics and sports info on the public side of things, but busy behind the scenes. Sports info is working on media guides, schedule cards, promotions for the upcoming year along with getting some new sponsors. It's never really slow anymore!

BASEBALL
Coach Mike Collins from baseball announced today that he will be holding his annual golf outing on Sunday, Oct. 4. This is a great event and benefits the baseball scholarship fund. If you would like to play go to this page to download a camp brochure.

CALLING ALL YOU RUNNERS
Coach Bernie Empie from cross country will be holding the annual Market Street Mile here in town on Friday, Aug. 28th. It's a great event for everyone (there are even 1/2 and 1/4 races)! We'll be posting an application form on-line in the next few days so before to look out for that.

That's all for now. We'll be back next week with more news from the Huskies.
