Albany, NY- The Sage Colleges' women's basketball team was honored once again with the release of the 2018 D3Hoops.com regional teams.

Coleman, who just wrapped her fourth season at Sage led the Gators to a second place showing in the Empire 8 conference regular-season and the team's first appearance in the women's basketball tournament as a new member to the league in 2017-2018. The Gators went 18-8 overall with a 12-4 mark in Empire 8 play.
