SUNY Shootout

Both Binghamton and Stony Brook scored season highs in points in a 91-86 affair at the Events Center that went the Bearcats' way. Binghamton moved to 2-2 in conference play, tied for 4th in the league standings, while Stony Brook fell to 0-3.

Binghamton freshman Andrea Holmes exploded for a collegiate best 32 points, including an 11-for-13 effort at the charity stripe. It is now the 7th 30-point performance around the league so far this season, and the second in America East play. Junior Erica Carter also hit a career high, 21 points, on 7-of-12 shooting from the field and a perfect 4-of-4 on the free-throw line. The Bearcats sunk 10 three-pointers for the game, including Holmes going 3-for-3 from downtown. Senior Laura Franceski continued to have her presence known on the inside, swatting away 5 shots.

Stony Brook got a great performance out of sophomore Misha Horsey, who netted 24 points to go with 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Classmate Kirsten Jeter went for 18 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, a block and 2 steals. The difference in the game came down to the free-throw line, as the Seawolves only had 13 attempts to Binghamton's 34. Foul shots accounted for 27 of the Bearcats' points as opposed to 10 of the Seawolves' point total.

Action picks up again on Wednesday, while player and rookie of the week will still be announced Monday despite the MLK Day holiday.
