TEXAS -- The UAlbany women are in Texas for their first ever NCAA tournament appearance.

The Danes take on national champions Texas A & M tonight at 6:30 p.m. in College Station. They secured their place in the tournament when they won the America East tournament last weekend.

The team left Albany Thursday, and we caught up with them in Texas.

Ebone Henry, UAlbany junior Guard said, “It’s our first time here, being on a big state its def a big moment."

Julie Forster, UAlbany junior Forward said, “You nervous at first but once the first whistle it’s something you’ve been playing all your life."

Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, UAlbany Head Coach said, “We really just talk about the only play five players, the balls the same, the basketball, the floors, you just have to get through those first five minutes."

You have to get through those first five minute of nerves.
