The University At Albany Women's Basketball team is having much more success this year then last, especially with this victory over army. This game however was not clearly won by the great danes, the lead was traded back and forth multiple times till the very end when Charity was able to just about seal the deal. She was the key player in this game hitting two clutch freethrows from the strike-plate clinching a 3 point lead with less than 25 seconds in the game. Army had a chance to tie it and force overtime but were not able to connect on two 3pt attempts. They have now beaten 4 teams that they previously lost to last season and are on thier way to becoming the best team in the America East Conference. Head Coach Trina Patterson expresses her feelings toward the team this year and explains "We have a whole different team with so many newcomers, and a whole different thought process. These girls are about team first and individuals second. We played with a lot of effort and heart." The Womens Basketball is by far one of the quickest turnaround teams this university has ever seen after last season losing all 9 games when they were within 5 points. They are now 2-1 with games within 5 points. And there Current Record is 5-4.
