Box score

BOSTON, Mass.-- Senior guard Christine Kinneary scored 22 points and senior forward Jesyka Burks-Wiley added 22 points and 11 rebounds, powering Boston University (9-6, 3-0 AE) to a 81-63 win over Binghamton (6-10, 1-2 AE) in an America East Conference women's basketball game on Wednesday afternoon at Agganis Arena.

Kinneary scored 18 of her points in the first half as the Terriers raced out to a 49-33 lead at the break. The Bearcats went up 13-12 at the 12:56 mark but a 15-5 run by Boston made the score 27-18 with 8:45 left to go. From there, the Terriers extended the lead to 42-22 with 2:43 remaining.

Boston shot 50 percent in the first half (15-for-30) and went 15-of-18 from the free throw line.

In the second half, play slowed down and Binghamton got to within 66-52 at the seven-minute mark. Boston, however, reeled off the next nine points points to put the game out of reach.

Junior guard Erica Carter had a team-high 12 points while sophomore guard Jackie Ward added 10 points.

Binghamton returns home on Sunday for a 2 p.m. game against Stony Brook. The game will be televised locally by Time Warner Sports (Channel 23).
