SEASON STATS<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y.<\/strong> \u2013 Junior forward <\/a><\/a>Sam Rowley<\/a> recorded his sixth career double-double (21 points, 11 rebounds), and his second this season, but it wasn\u2019t enough for UAlbany (5-5), as they fell 69-60 to Colgate (5-4) at SEFCU Arena on Saturday night. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Colgate got out to an early 10-point lead on two 3-pointers and two jumpers in the first three minutes. The Raiders came into the game making 11.6 threes per game, and left SEFCU Arena having made 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes charged back with a 12-0 run of their own. A three from <\/a><\/a>Peter Hooley<\/a> gave UAlbany a 12-10 lead with 13:30 left in the first half. The Purple & Gold started the game 1-for-6 from the field, but went 6-for-8 heading into the second media timeout. <\/a><\/a>DJ Evans<\/a> scored nine points early on 3-for-4 shooting from the field, one made three and two made free throws.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams shot well in the first half, and eight fouls between the teams kept the pace of the game moving. <\/a><\/a>Gary Johnson<\/a> went in for the flush off a steal at half court to give UAlbany a 36-34 lead to end the period. The Great Danes entered the locker room with a lead, after fouling four times on Colgate\u2019s final possession to keep the Raiders from getting into a rhythm. Rowley had 12 points and five boards at the break.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany only committed two turnovers in the first half, and the Raiders did not attempt a free throw.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colgate\u2019s Austin Tillotson exploded for 14 points in the second half, going 3-for-3 from three-point range and 5-for-5 from the field. He made a three to open the second half and give Colgate the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Raiders opened the second half going just 3-for-11 from the field in the first seven minutes, but UAlbany went on a nearly-five minute scoring drought mid-way through the second 20 minutes of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes showed some life after Colgate center Ethan Jacobs picked up his fourth foul with 7:18 to play. Johnson and Rowley went in for easy baskets to narrow the lead to three, 57-54.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Colgate surged back to hit four-straight threes in two minutes. The Raiders finally got to the line in the final minute of the game, going 3-for-4 from the charity stripe to put the game out of reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about match-ups,\u201d said head coach<\/span> <\/a>Will Brown<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019re a tough match-up for us. They have three or four guys on the floor at a time that could shoot the three, and that really bothered us. It spread us out and we didn\u2019t communicate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a 10-minute period in the second half where we just had too many breakdowns,\u201d said Rowley. We knew they were a good shooting team, and especially for that 10-minute period, we let them shoot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rowley led UAlbany with 21 points and 11 rebounds, matching a career-high in points. It was his second-straight 20-point game and his third of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting center <\/a><\/a>John Puk<\/a> had 10 rebounds, recording his first double-digit rebounding effort since bringing down a career-high 11 boards against Hartford on Jan. 2, 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson went 6-for-8 from the field on his way to 14 points. The senior had 10 points or more for the second-straight game and for the fifth time this season. He also had four assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Purple & Gold committed a season-low six turnovers. The UAlbany Division I program single-game record for fewest turnovers is five, set against Maryland on Dec. 28, 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes return to SEFCU Arena to face Yale on Friday, Dec. 20 at 7 p.m.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
