Final Stats

Stony Brook, N.Y. - The Stony Brook women's basketball team (16-11, 8-6 AE) stayed within arm's reach of the first-place Albany Great Danes (22-4, 13-1 AE) on Wednesday night, but could never take the lead as they fell 62-49 at Island Federal Credit Union Arena.

McCombs' Reaction

"I thought we played well and competed," said head coach Caroline McCombs. "It seemed like every time we went on a run, they had an answer and went on a mini run of their own and that was the difference."

Stony Brook put itself behind the eight-ball with a slow first quarter. The Seawolves scored just seven points in the first period and trailed 15-7. Stony Brook and Albany played each other dead even for the next two quarters before the Great Danes pulled away over the final six minutes.
