NORTH HAVEN, Conn. – Senior Anete Adler dropped a season-high 21 points to lead three Terriers in double figures as the Boston University women's basketball team defeated New Haven 65-58 on Saturday evening at The Hazell Center.

BU (2-2) led by as many as 14 points on multiple occasions and nailed seven of its 11 attempts from three-point range to tally its second consecutive road victory in its first meeting against the Chargers (1-3).

Lindsay Hogan paced New Haven with 21 points on 8-for-21 shooting. Merit Innocent collected 14 points off the bench.

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU's first three buckets came on layups from Adler and McLaughlin, but Hogan countered with a pair of three-pointers for a 6-6 deadlock three minutes into the matchup.
The Terriers were limited to two field goals over a five-minute span, allowing the Chargers to build a 17-12 lead through five three-pointers.
Junior Inés Monteagudo Pardo canned a three before the end of the first quarter, then McLaughlin ignited the second with a pair of layups for a 7-0 Terrier run that handed the visitors a 21-19 advantage.
Schuyler Coles knocked down two free throws, but BU answered with triples from Ericksen and sophomore Hildur Gunnsteinsdóttir to make it 27-21 with 5:47 left in the frame.
Neither team scored in the final 2:33 of the first half, but two baskets from Schwertner helped the Terriers build a 31-25 halftime lead.
Ericksen and Gunnsteinsdóttir sandwiched another Hogan three with their own triples two minutes into the third quarter. Ericksen's bucket made it 39-28 Terriers.
Ericksen found Adler on the left block for a layup, then nailed her third three-pointer of the game at the 4:15 mark to give BU its largest lead of the day, 47-33.
New Haven pulled within single digits on a 6-0 run that took nearly two minutes, but Monteagudo added breathing room with a corner three off Adler's outlet pass for a 52-41 edge with 1:20 left in the stanza.
Adler opened the fourth quarter with a layup that replenished the double-digit gap at 54-43, but New Haven rattled off an extended 10-3 run for nearly six minutes to cut the lead to 57-53 with 3:18 left in regulation.
Out of a BU timeout, Adler posted up on the left block and got the turnaround floater to fall, extending the lead to 59-53 with 3:09 on the timer.
Gunnsteinsdóttir forced a Hogan turnover with 1:17 to play, allowing for McLaughlin to skate down the right lane for a layup with less than 58 seconds left that made it 62-55.
Hogan's fifth three-pointer on the next possession sliced the distance to 62-58, but McLaughlin and Ericksen teamed up for three foul shots to seal the result.
