School Records Fall Wednesday Night

Three of the four road teams got on the bus Wednesday night winners to close out the first half of the conference season. Two athletes in particular also went home feeling pretty good about themselves. Hartford's Erica Beverly swatted 5 blocks in the Hawks' 59-32 win at New Hampshire to break the school's single-season blocks record. The junior forward surpassed the career blocks record earlier this season already. Beverly also scored 13 points, while freshman guard Ilicia Mathis led Hartford with 16 points.

In Albany, Boston University won their school-record ninth straight game, 78-48 over the Great Danes. Senior point guard Christine Kinneary tallied five handouts and became the program's all-time assists leader. In the process, she also moved into fifth-place in America East history with 477 career assists. She'll now be gunning to pass current Maine coach Cindy Blodgett who finished her career with 487. Senior guard Amarachi Umez-Eronini scored a game-high 17 points to go along with nine rebounds, two assists and three steals to pace the Terriers, while the Albany defense mostly kept forward Jesyka Burks-Wiley in check with just nine points and seven rebounds.

Stony Brook won its season-best third game in a row, 57-39 over Maine, to move into a 6th-place tie in the conference standings at 3-5. Forward Kirsten Jeter, who's been hot averaging 14.8 ppg in AE play, netted a game-high 17 points and added six rebounds, six steals and three blocks. Sophomore Misha Horsey handed out a career-high eight assists. On the defensive side, the Seawolves forced Maine into 35 turnovers and turned them into 24 points.

Vermont and Binghamton entered the Events Center just one game apart in the standings, but the Catamounts flexed their muscles to earn a win on the road, 64-38. Senior Kelli Poles contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds from off the bench for her sixth career double-double, and junior Courtnay Pilypaitis was once again a triple-double threat with 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Of note, the Bearcats were playing without reigning Player of the Week Laura Franceski who had suffered a minor concussion earlier this week at practice. She'll be questionable for Binghamton's game at Albany on Saturday.
