Albany at Rhode Island
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (Interstat) — The Albany Great Danes visit the Rhode Island Rams on Saturday in a non-conference women’s basketball matchup at the Ryan Center.
Albany (2-1) enters the contest after a decisive 65-41 home victory over Dartmouth on Monday. Amaya Stewart led the Great Danes with 21 points, while Lara Langermann added 12 points. Albany’s season has been marked by a strong home win over Marist and a road loss to Syracuse.
Rhode Island (3-1) looks to rebound from its first loss of the season, a narrow 68-63 defeat at Rutgers on Thursday. In that game, Brooklyn Gray scored 18 points and Palmire Mbu added 17 points and five rebounds. The Rams previously dominated their home schedule, including a 105-49 rout of Emmanuel.
The game pits Albany’s defense, which has held two opponents under 50 points, against a potent Rhode Island offense that has surpassed 80 points twice this season.
The Great Danes continue their road swing at Saint Bonaventure on Nov. 22. The Rams remain at home to host Holy Cross on Nov. 19.
