Albany at New Hampshire
LEE, N.H. (Interstat) — The Albany and New Hampshire women’s basketball teams meet Saturday at Lundholm Gym in a late-season America East Conference matchup with both sides looking to build momentum.
The Great Danes (14-14) enter on a tough note, having lost 59-60 at Maine on Thursday on a last-second basket. Albany guard Martina Borrellas was prolific in the loss, scoring 23 points and dishing four assists. She has been a consistent force, averaging 10.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists over her last seven games.
The Wildcats (9-19) snapped a six-game skid with a decisive 67-48 home victory over Binghamton on Thursday. That win was fueled by a standout performance from guard Eva DeChent, who poured in 23 points and six assists. DeChent has been on a scoring tear, averaging 22.1 points over her last seven contests, including a 29-point effort in a narrow loss to UMass Lowell.
This game is a rematch of a Jan. 24 meeting in Albany, which New Hampshire won 56-51. In that game, the Wildcats limited Albany to 30.9% shooting from the field.
Albany will aim to avenge that loss and climb back to .500 in conference play, relying on Borrellas’ all-around game and the supporting play of Gabriela Falcao and Delanie Hill. New Hampshire will look to carry the momentum from its blowout win and lean heavily on DeChent’s hot hand to secure a season sweep.
Tip-off is set for Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026. The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
