Albany had a great 2019 season. The Great Danes went 9-5 overall and an impressive 6-2 in CAA play. That was the first time during Coach Greg Gattuso’s six years leading the program that Albany finished above .500 in conference play. They also picked up their first ever playoff win with a 42-14 victory over Central Connecticut State. The goal now will be to continue that success into 2021 and beyond.
