ALBANY, N.Y. – Stony Brook women's basketball fell at Albany, 64-58, on Saturday afternoon at SEFCU Arena in conference play. With the loss, the Seawolves drop to 11-10 (3-5 AE) so far this season.

Quoting Head Coach Caroline McCombs
"I thought Albany really outplayed us in the first and third quarters today. We did a good job fighting back both times, but it's tough to have those lapses and come out on top. Albany is a good team, and capitalized on our mistakes. We've got to be sharper in our execution heading into these next two road games."
