LOOKING AT ALBANY
The Great Danes, who are 1-2 on the young season, visit Rutgers for their fourth game in 10 days.
A WIN WOULD...
A win against the Scarlet Knights would mark the first win against a Power Five opponent since UAlbany's historical, 61-59, win against SEC member Florida in the 2015-16 NCAA Tournament.
LAST TIME OUT
In the squad's 2018-19 home opener, Chyanna Canada posted a career-high 15 points and eight rebounds in UAlbany's 60-54 victory against in-state foe Manhattan on Wednesday night. The win marked the first for the Great Danes who improve to 1-2 this season.
LOOKING AT UALBANY
Through three games in 2018-19, redshirt-junior Amanda Kantzy and senior Chyanna Canada are pacing the team with 8.7 points apiece. Canada is pulling in 5.3 rebounds per game while classmate Heather Forster is hauling in 5.7 boards of her own. Kyara Frames, who boasts a team-best seven helpers and four steals, is chipping in with 6.7 points while shooting 75% (3-4) from the charity stripe.
SCOUTING RUTGERS
The Scarlet Knights went 3-0 to open the season and are coming off a 7-44 rout of Central Connecticut State on Nov. 13. Caitlin Jenkins owns a team-best 12.3 points per game with 11.3 boards, while Zipporah Broughton and Stasha Carey are boasting 10.0 points each. As a team, Rutgers is shooting 46.8% from the field and 35% from downtown.
A WIN TO REMEMBER
November 14 will have a new meaning for Head Coach Colleen Mullen who earned her first career win as a collegiate head coach. Mullen led the Great Danes past Manhattan, 60-56, in front of 2,579 fans at the SEFCU Arena in Albany, N.Y.
CANADA NOT SO SHY, EH?
Chyanna Canada had a career night for the Great Danes by posting a personal-best 15 points and eight rebounds against Manhattan on Nov. 14. The senior went 6-10 from the floor and finished the night with two helpers.
600 DAYS IN THE WAITING...
After sitting out the 2017-18 season due to NCAA transfer rules, Amanda Kantzy made the most of her long-awaited debut with a team-high 17 points at No. 22 USF. Additionally, she brought down seven boards to go along with one steal in 32 minutes played.
