Yes, But

UAlbany outscored Dartmouth by 4 points after halftime and finished the game with a 12-9 edge over the final five minutes. The late push narrowed the gap, but the Great Danes couldn’t make up the ground lost in the first half.

What's Next

UAlbany travels to Holy Cross on Sunday, Nov. 15, for a 2 p.m. tipoff at Hart Center Arena.

Bottom Line

UAlbany showed more fight after the break, but the early deficit was decisive. A stronger start will be key as the Great Danes look to get back on track against Holy Cross.
