Final Stats

ALBANY, N.Y. - Junior forward Sherry Jordan scored 31 points and added a career-high 17 rebounds as Stony Brook defeated Albany 74-58 on Saturday afternoon at the Recreation and Convocation Center. The Seawolves (4-11, 2-2), losers of five of their last six, snapped a two-game road losing streak with the win.

Albany (6-9, 0-4) trailed 25-24 with 5:24 remaining in the first half, but Jordan sparked a 10-4 run to close the half as she connected on a fade away three-pointer as the shot clock ran down. Jordan, a preseason all-conference pick, also connected on four free throws during that stretch to give Stony Brook a 35-28 halftime advantage.

The Seawolves continued their surge at the start of the second half tallying 12 of the first 16 points to build a 47-32 lead with 13:05 left. Sophomore center Bojana Bogetic, who scored a career-high 21 points, had five markers during the run which included her converting a free throw after being fouled on a lay up.

The Great Danes battled back cutting the deficit to 62-54 with 3:54 left, as Sarah Sweetland scored in the paint off a steal and then sank the ensuing free throw. During the 11-4 spurt, Maree Jones and Danielle Hutcheson, who recorded her team-leading sixth double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, each added four points.

Jordan, who connected on 12-of-18 field goals, scored six of the game's next eight points on two jump shots and a fast break lay up off a steal, as Stony Brook closed the game on a 12-4 run.
