ALBANY, N.Y. – With 32-consecutive wins in America East play, the University at Albany currently has the longest-conference winning streak in Division I women’s basketball.

Since then, the Great Danes have won all 32 America East games.
UAlbany became the leader in DI after Florida Gulf Coast University, which had won 44-straight games in the Atlantic Sun Conference, fell to Northern Kentucky on Saturday.
The Great Danes share the longest-winning streak in conference play with Hampton University, which has won 32 consecutive games in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference as of Monday.
In addition, UAlbany has won 21-consecutive America East games on the road, with the last defeat away from SEFCU Arena coming on February 23rd, 2011 with a 62-55 loss to UMBC.
UAlbany will look to defend its league-winning streak on Tuesday, hosting UMass Lowell on Tuesday, February 4th at 7 p.m. at the SEFCU Arena.
