Stony Brook, N.Y. - Sophomore Sabre Proctor scored 16 points, including the go-ahead driving layup with one minute remaining in the second half to help the Stony Brook women's basketball team (1-1) to a 44-40 victory over Navy on Sunday at Pritchard Gym.
Coach's Reaction
"This is a great win for our program and also a tremendous confidence booster. We still turned the ball over too many times, but sometimes when you try to go with a faster tempo and you have young players, you have to work on taking care of the ball. That will definitely be a point of emphasis going forward."
