The visiting Seawolves started fast, scoring the game's first ten points. Clark scored four during that stretch, with Kaela Hilaire and Anastasia Warren each adding a triple.

"We were just focused on playing 40 minutes of Stony Brook basketball," Clark said. "Just focusing on the little things on the defensive end. Albany is always a tough opponent so it was huge for us to get this win on the road."
 
Hilaire led five double-figure scorers on the day, finishing with 16. It is her second consecutive game with 10 or more points.
