[UAalum72]

1/5 game at Bing rescheduled for 1/31 at 7 pm

[UAalum72]

Without Lucia DeCortes, women hold off Lowell 58-52

Albany is third in the nation in fewest points allowed. They didn't say how much pace of play factored in that.

[tnehurley]

Also without another starter, Ellen Hahne. Kayla Cooper 13 pts., 14 rebounds and 2 clutch jump shots near the end, after we almost gave up a 10 pt. lead. Team was just 8 of 15 on FT’s, but a real nice road win. NJIT next.

[Dane Pound]

Good win today for 7 in a row and alone in first place.

[tnehurley]

Outstanding win on the road vs. a 4-0 team, once again without 2 good starters.  Lily Phillips 7 assists. Team shoots 50% from 3 (7-14). Kayla Cooper great again with 21 points and 15 rebounds, her 2cd straight double-double. Now 3-0, in 1st place, and take on a winless Hartford team on the road Monday afternoon. Life is good!

[UAalum72]

NJIT announcers said Hahne is injured, any word on that? DeCortes is on health and safety protocols, so should be back soon. They kept talking about Albany's length, not sure they even realized our longest player wasn't there.

Cooper just moves with  an ease, like Shereesha Richards did, another level of athleticism from most of the other players on the floor.

[tnehurley]

Was thinking the same thing about Kayla being a mini-version of Shereesha. She seems to get a lot of layups against taller opponents. BTW, think they will ever get around to retiring Shereesha’s number? Don’t know about Hahne. As usual, women’s injury reports are not as readily known, or made public, as the men. Hope we get her back soon.

[tnehurley]

Ladies down 30-27 at the half to Hartford, an 0-13 team. Ugly.

[tnehurley]

Now up 41-36 after 3.

[tnehurley]

Disaster in Hartford—-ladies lose 52-49.

[nysteve661]

Just watched the 4th quarter, ladies had plenty of open opportunities, didn't make them and lose to an 0 and 13 team.  Ugh. 

[alum73]

I was telling my friend this was a perfect trap game. Damn!

[tnehurley]

Agree on the trap game idea. Another one coming up on Wed. at home vs. UMBC—1 win—though they should be ready for that one after what happened today. We missed Lucia’s length under the basket today. Too many Hartford layups.

[UAalum72]

TU says Lucia is out with concussion protocols. No word on Hahne, though she was at the game but not suited up.

[UAalum72]

Mullen "hopeful" Decortes will return for today's 11 am game, the fourth game in eight days.

Hahne confirmed still out. Lily Phillips appeared to hurt her ankle in Tuesday's practice, no update.
