ALBANY, N.Y. — The University at Albany women's basketball team takes the court for its final road contest of the regular season at New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon.
The Great Danes enter Wednesday looking to snap a three-game skid after falling, 69-60, at UMBC on Saturday. Kyara Frames tried to fuel a late comeback, scoring 13 of her 16 points in the fourth quarter but UMBC used a late 8-2 run to keep the Great Danes at arms length. Heather Forster brought down 12 boards to go along with 16 points as the senior picked up her fourth double-double of the season.
