“”I am very excited with the 2010 schedule we’ve assembled,” Sinicki said. “It has a great blend of traditional foes and new opponents. We’ve really tried to challege our guys with quality non-conference games both prior to and during the always-difficult America East Conference portion of the schedule.”
