How it Happened

• Bouncing back from a thrilling season-opening defeat to #13 Stanford, UAlbany visited Colgate for its 2022 road opener and rolled over the Raiders by a final score of 19-2 in a game where UAlbany scored the first 17 goals and held Colgate scoreless for nearly 47 minutes of game time.
• UAlbany scored six goals in the first half, starting with 12:21 remaining when Sarah Falk kicked off the frenzy with the first goal of the game.  Falk scored three of UAlbany's final four goals against Stanford last Sunday, including two in the final 54 seconds of play.
• Hailey Carroll, who led UAlbany with four goals against Stanford, scored two of her game-high five goals in the first quarter.
• The Great Danes scored five goals in the second to take an 11-0 lead into halftime.  Nine Great Danes had scored at least one goal through the first 30 minutes.
• UAlbany held Colgate scoreless through the third quarter, adding six more goals to their total to take a 17-0 lead heading into the fourth.  Colgate finally got on the board with 13:12 left in the game, and scored once more with 6:22 remaining.  UAlbany added one final goa for good measure, from Megan Dineen with 2:39 to go, to bring the final score to 19-2.
• Carroll's five goals on six total shots, and 13 Great Danes scored at least one goal, with 17 recording at least one point.
