University at Albany men's basketball opened its season with a game against Rhode Island College at Broadview Center in Albany on Monday, November 2. While the final result was not detailed in the initial report, sophomore guard Ollie Engen emerged as a bright spot for the Great Danes.
Engen, who saw significant playing time in the season debut, showed promise with his playmaking ability and court vision. A photograph from the game captured Engen surveying the floor looking to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
The Times-Union's Adam Shinder noted Engen's performance as a positive takeaway from the opening contest. UAlbany Athletics provided the game imagery showing the guard in action during the non-conference matchup.
As the Great Danes continue their early-season schedule, Engen's development will be a key storyline for a program looking to build momentum in the America East Conference.
