BALTIMORE, Md. – All in all, it was a milestone night for the Binghamton women's basketball team.

Erasing a 20-point, second-quarter deficit, the Bearcats (10-15, 5-7 AE) rallied to defeat UMBC (8-16, 1-10 AE) 58-46 in an America East women's basketball game on Wednesday night at the UMBC Events Center. The victory represented the largest comeback in Binghamton's 18-year NCAA Division I era.

Two individual players also stamped their names in the record book. Senior forward Rebecca Carmody, who finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and four assists, became the 17th player in program history to reach the 1,000-point mark for her career. Junior guard Karlee Krchnavi, meanwhile, grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds – the most by a Binghamton player since 2001 – to go along with a team-best 16 points.

Carmody's 1,000th point came when she drove underneath the basket and converted a layup with 2:42 left in the third period. It gave Binghamton a 39-38 lead and fittingly enough, the lead would hold up the rest of the game.

Binghamton's other hero in the comeback was freshman guard Hayley Moore, who finished with a career best 14 points. She drained four of her six three-point field goal attempts in the process.

"I've never been a part of a comeback like this," head coach Bethann Shapiro Ord said. "I've had milestones set but nothing like tonight. The turning point of the game was when the girls really played great defense and starting lighting it up on offense."

Binghamton was outscored 17-1 in the first period and was down 30-10 with 2:38 remaining in the second period. From there, however, the Bearcats went on an 11-0 run to close to within 30-21 at the half. Carmody had five of her points during that stretch.

Moore and Krchnavi took over in the third period, scoring all of the Bearcats' points in a 16-4 run during the opening 5:59 of play. At that point, Binghamton took a 37-34 lead.

UMBC was within 44-40 with 7:24 left in regulation but a 10-2 Binghamton run padded the lead to 54-42 with 3:27 remaining. Moore and freshman forward Annie Ramil each netted four points during that stretch.

Tey'Jah Oliver of UMBC led all scorers with 20 points.

The previous largest comeback during Binghamton's 18-year NCAA Division I era was 18 points, against Fairleigh Dickinson on Dec. 2, 2016. The Bearcats trailed 34-16 before winning 80-69.

The last time a Binghamton player grabbed 19 rebounds in a game was Leah Truncale against Colgate on Dec. 21, 2001. It remains the most rebounds by a Binghamton player during the program's NCAA Division I era.

As a team, Binghamton finished with a 45-35 advantage in rebounding.

After going 0-for-15 in the first period, the Bearcats closed the game by hitting eight of their last 12 shots (67 percent).

Binghamton hosts UMass Lowell next Wednesday at 7 p.m.

NOTES: Carmody remains in 17th place all-time in program history, now with 1,004 career points. In 16th place is Helene Thomas (1981-85) with 1,018 points while 15th place is occupied by Jen Blues (2002-06) with 1,019 career points.
