SHORT STORY: The Great Danes fell to Stanford in a one-goal game, Friday afternoon. 
 
COACH PHIL SYKES: "I thought we were in a good place to take advantage of this conference game but it was sort of a flat effort today. We created a bit of energy late, but it was a little too late. We are hoping to learn from the lessons today and get better down the road."

  • The Great Danes outshot Stanford, 5-4, in the first half.
  • In the third period, UAlbany put pressure on Stanford putting three of their five shots on target but couldn't find the back of the net.
