AE GAMEDAY: UAlbany at UMBC

Jeff Couch/The Record
This game got much more interesting at approximately 9:25 p.m., on Monday evening.

Every person in the room asked or wondered out loud about the UMBC/New Hampshire score.

Once it was confirmed that the Retrievers had won, doubling their win total in the process, it was clear that the UAlbany players were a little more focused on their next league task.

The Great Danes will be playing to go to 2-0 in conference play, for the first time in six years, when the team started America East play 5-1 and went on to play in the program's first NCAA tournament.

Needless to say this is a big game, even though it's against a 2-11 team.
