UAlbany falls in AEC Final

The University at Albany field hockey team fell victim to Boston University in the American East Conference Tournament title game.

The Great Danes opened tournament play with a 3-0 victory over New Hampshire in the AEC semifinals, but were unable to defend last year's conference title as they fell to Terriers, 4-1, in the title game.
