COACH'S QUOTE
"Hats off to Albany for getting off to a fast start," said head coach Sarah Dalton Graddock. "I am really proud of the fight our team displayed with never giving up and not going away. Unfortunately, we couldn't overcome those first 10 minutes and get the outcome we wanted. I have loved every single day being able to coach these 33 women. Their energy, work ethic, and resiliency is a testament to the love they have for one another. Our program took many positives away from this year and we have a lot to celebrate as we continue to work for a conference title. Huge thanks to our seniors for all they did throughout their 4-5 years with us."
