Straying from the recent norm, No. 3 Stony Brook opened its America East Women’s Basketball Tournament quarterfinal game on an offensive tear against No. 6 Hartford.
A third quarter comeback nearly gave Columbia its fifth straight win to start the season. However, SBU prevailed, earning the 79-71 victory at Francis S. Levien Gymnasium.
With the graduation of two-time All-America East honoree Sabre Proctor last spring, the SBU Women’s Basketball team is turning over a new leaf heading into the 2015-16 season.
The Seawolves will look to finish off the regular season on a positive note, with a pair of away games on Feb. 26 and March 1 against Binghamton and Hartford, respectively.
