What goes for the UAlbany MBB goes for the UAlbany WBB...need a solid offense effort with good defense...playing a talented Maine team:

Expect a grind. Albany is #1 in the country in points defense (UVM #17, SBU #22, Maine #77) but #293 in points scored. Maine is #310.

Game will be on campus in Orono as the Globetrotters are scheduled at the Cross Center.

I like to think the smaller venue will help our shooting? The Cross Center has a lot of room behind the baskets, and if my memory serves me, has not been  kind to us lately. We’ll see. 60 points would look nice tonight.

64 points looked very nice tonight.🙂  

Maine played their best game of the season....Albany played tough but not quite good enough on this night.  Cooper is quite a talent and Haney is also very smooth.  2 very talented sophomores.  Maine is young as well.....I have a feeling that these 2 programs are going to be in some heated battles over the next couple of years.  Re-match in Albany in a couple of weeks!

[tnehurley]

Maine gets 0 bench points, shoots only 5 FT’s, and wins by 9, because they shot 56%. Tip of the hat to them. They are not big but very efficient and very well coached. For UA, Helene misses 4 FT’s, Lilly Phillips gets thoroughly outplayed by another 1st year point guard and plays just 12 minutes. Morgan Haney, meanwhile, plays 28 minutes, scores 13, including 3  3’s. Grace Heeps has now scored 5 pts. in the last 4 games. I think Coach Mullen should reconsider her starting lineup. Haney and Freja Werth replacing Phillips and Heeps. Just one fans opinion. Now have to play 2 against a pretty good Vermont team, and then others, before a rematch with Maine. Should be a very good AE post season tournament!

[tnehurley]

Ladies go to 10-3 with a tough 54-52 win over Vermont. A nail biter. Frantic last 20 seconds, where we had a 5 pt. lead, gave up a Vt. 3, and threw away the inbound pass but got it back to run out the clock. Hahne and Haegerstrand hit 4 huge free throws down the stretch.  Maine, however, also goes to 10-3, going into Stony Brook and winning 61-55. Maine’s schedule less demanding than ours for the last 5.

[cwdickens]

The UAlbany WBB are looking at starting the playoff at home...if they keep up the home winning streak ... likely playing at least two games at home provided they win the first playoff conference game...

Reminder- the rescheduled rematch at UVM is at noon today

[bob87]

Thanks. 31-31 at the half. 

[tnehurley]

Lose to Vt. 63-55.  What went wrong? Cooper does not score from the field. 2 ft’s. A 4 point 3rd qtr. Fatima Lee comes in in the 2cd qtr., hits her 1st 3 shots, including a 3, then goes to the bench and DNP the rest of the game. Even the announcers were questioning why she was never seen again. Seems like a hot hand should get some minutes?!  I wonder sometimes if the team is under orders to not shoot until X amount of seconds off the shot clock. Lots of open looks from good shooters are not taken. Instead, they run that clock down under 5 seconds and wind up throwing up a desperation shot. Irritating. Hope to get well Wed. at home.

 

[UAalum72]

UVM is pretty tall and collapses inside, so Cooper doesn't have a lot of room to work her moves in the paint against them.

[tnehurley]

True. They did a nice job on her in both games. She has a nice medium range jump shot. Have to get her open for some of those when she’s doubled down low.
