Last Week: The Albertus Magnus College women's basketball team went 0-2 in non-conference action last week, falling at home to Sage before dropping a road contest versus No. 4 Amherst. In the tilt with the Gators, a late rally fell shot for the Falcons. Trailing by three with the ball and under 30 seconds on the clock, the Falcons were unable to convert. Over the weekend, the Jeffs raced past Albertus Magnus at home. The big difference in the contest was the three-point shooting, as Amherst hit 18-of-34 attempts while Albertus Magnus converted on just 2-of-8 three-point attempts.
This Week: Before time off for the Thanksgiving break, the women's basketball team plays host to Bay Path on Monday night before traveling for a non-conference clash against SUNY Cobleskill on Tuesday evening. Albertus Magnus looks to end its three-game skid this week, taking on a pair of opponents from the Empire State.
