An abbreviated report on last night's games today and no previews of tonight's action due to the late arrival back from the Bucknell-Rider game this morning (4 a.m.) and an early afternoon gig covering the Holy Cross-Bucknell football game for the Worcester Telegram-Gazette.

Check back this evening or tomorrow, depending on how long we can stay awake, for more on the weekend's openers.
