VESTAL, N.Y. – Junior guard Carly Boland scored a game-high 19 points and senior forward Rebecca Carmody added 16 points and eight rebounds, powering Binghamton (9-12, 4-4 AE) to a 73-62 win over Hartford (14-8, 7-1 AE) in an America East women's basketball game on Wednesday night at Dr. Bai Lee Court at the Events Center. The win is the Bearcats' second in their last three games and broke the Hawks' nine-game winning streak.

Boland went 7-for-14 from the floor, including 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point arc. Carmody, meanwhile, was 7-for-12 from the field and also added four assists and a pair of steals.

Hartford came into the game leading the America East in scoring defense (56.3 ppg.) but the Bearcats shot a season-best 51 percent from the field (26-of-51) and drained nine of their 21 field goal attempts (42.9 percent). The 73 points ties Binghamton's highest-scoring output of the season.

In addition, the Hawks also led the conference with 13.00 steals per game. Binghamton, however, held an 11-9 edge in that category.

"This was a great team win for us tonight," head coach Bethann Shapiro Ord said. "Our players have been in the gym working hard and it really paid off tonight. We shot the ball well, hit our free throws and everyone played a big role tonight."

With the score tied at 23-23 with 1:34 left in the second period, Binghamton closed the half on a 7-2 run to take a 30-25 lead at the break. Carmody punctuated the run with an offensive rebound and a layup at the buzzer.

Hartford pulled to within 42-40 on a layup by Sierra DaCosta with 5:40 left in the third period but the Bearcat went on a 12-4 run to go up 54-44 heading into the fourth period. Carmody had a team-best five points during that stretch.

Binghamton showed no signs of slowing down in the final period, taking a commanding 65-46 lead with 6:42 left in regulation. The Bearcats were then able to protect their double-digit lead by going a perfect 6-for-6 during the last 2:21 of the game.

Junior guard Kai Moon finished with 15 points, four rebounds and four assists. She went 7-for-9 from the free throw line, including a perfect 4-for-4 during that final 2:21 stretch.

Sophomore forward Olivia Ramil had eight points and a career-high four blocks. Freshman Annie Ramil also had eight points, sinking both of her field goals and all four of her free throws.

The Bearcats host Albany on Saturday at 2 p.m.
