Started by a Royals layup, UAlbany and Quinnipiac went back and forth to open the second half, with neither team gaining ground.\u00a0 Richards kept getting fouled to earn trips to the free throw line to get back in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Down 51-36, a couple of Richards free throws and a Coughlin wing three on a fast break pulled UAlbany within eight 51-43 with 9:56 left in the 2nd<\/sup>, as UAlbany\u2019s defense held Quinnipiac without points for three minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither side could hit baskets in the final minutes as Quinnipiac slowed the tempo.\u00a0 UAlbany fouled numerous times late, leading Quinnipiac to the line.\u00a0 The Bobcats finished the game with a 21-6 run as Quinnipiac took the win 74-53.<\/span><\/p>\n
