Highlights
 
TURNING POINT

• Leading 12-5 late in the first quarter, BU went on a 15-2 run capped by a Hope 3-pointer with 7:19 to play in the second stanza to go ahead by 20, 27-7.
• The Raiders were held without a field goal during that run, as the Terriers kept Colgate to an 0-for-11 performance from the floor over a span of 8:50.

ONE AWAY FROM A NEW RECORD

• Senior Sarah Hope tied the program record for career 3-pointers with a pair of treys.
• She now has 244 3-pointers, matching 2013 graduate Chantell Alford's mark.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a slow start for both teams, the Terriers found their offensive rhythm and opened up a 12-2 lead late in the first quarter.
• BU took a 16-5 advantage into the second stanza and eventually led 33-16 at halftime.
• That 17-point lead came thanks to a distinct advantage on the inside. The Terriers outscored Colgate, 24-4, in the paint during the first half.
• The Terriers were also terrific on the glass in the opening half, led by seven rebounds each from senior Courtney Latham and freshman Nia Irving.
• Colgate was unable to gain any ground in the third quarter as the Terriers extended their lead to 18, 53-35, after 30 minutes.
• Hope and junior Corrine Williams both went 4-of-4 at the free-throw line in the third quarter while senior Meghan Green finished the frame with seven points thanks to a pair of triples.
• Colgate outscored BU, 16-11, in the fourth quarter but never truly threatened as the Terriers maintained their double-digit lead and closed out the victory.

 GAME NOTES

• Wednesday's win was the 10th straight game in which Beaudry scored in double figures and she has tallied 10 or more points in 13 of the Terriers' last 14 contests.
• The Terriers finished with 56 rebounds, including 36 on the defensive glass. It was the first time since Dec. 9, 2014, that BU recorded over 50 boards.
• Irving secured a career-high 13 rebounds and nearly had a double-double thanks to nine points.
• BU is on a four-game win streak for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
• Latham was the third Terrier that reached double figures in rebounding, bringing down 10 boards. Williams was close to joining that trio, finishing with nine rebounds.
• With the BU win and a Loyola Maryland loss, the Terriers are now four games ahead of the Greyhounds as well as Colgate with four games to play. BU swept the season series with Loyola and split the series with the Raiders.

 UP NEXT

• BU will hit the road to face Bucknell on Saturday (Feb. 18) at 2 p.m.
