Terriers Clinch Top Seed and At Least Share of Regular Season Title

Boston University, with a 71-57 win over Maine on Sunday at Agganis Arena, clinched the top seed for the Championship and at least a share of the regular season crown. Terrier seniors Kristi Dini and Jesyka Burks-Wiley each scored 17 points to pace the home team. Dini went 5-for-9 from beyond the arc, including 4 treys in the first half. Burks-Wiley, who played the first half with a face mask after breaking her nose in the Hartford game last week, tallied a team-high 7 rebounds. Another senior, Black Bear Colleen Kilmurray, led Maine with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

The Terriers guaranteed themselves a postseason berth. If they do not win the conference tournament and earn a bid to the NCAA Championship, Boston U. will receive the America East's automatic berth to the WNIT. Another win for the Terriers or a loss by Hartford will make Boston U. the sole regular season champion and remove the possibility of a first-place tie in the America East standings.

Stay tuned later tonight for scenarios for Championship seeding going into the last week of the regular season.
