Ambrose, UAlbany Power Past Stony Brook

Tim Ambrose continued his stellar season last night as his game high 22 points helped lead UAlbany past Stony Brook by a final score of 58-43.  Will Brown's Great Danes (13-15, 6-7 America East) climb into fourth place, now a game ahead of Stony Brook.  This was a nice home win for Albany, as they try to separate themselves from the lower end of the conference and improve their position in the stadings before the America East Tournament.

Ambrose, who scored 14 of his 22 points in the second half, finished seven of 12 from the field and was the team's only double digit scorer.  It is clear that Ambrose brings the offensive explosion Albany had been hoping for when he arrived in the Capital Region a few years ago.  With some help from his supporting cast, don't be surprised if Albany is able to make a little run come America East Tournament time!
