WEST POINT, N.Y. – Senior Anete Adler led three Terriers in double figures with 18 points, but the Boston University women's basketball program fell to Army West Point, 64-57, on Saturday afternoon at Christl Arena.

BU (4-11, 0-4 PL) held a lead after the first three quarters and led by as many as 14 points in the second half. However, the Black Knights (12-3, 3-1 PL) outscored the Terriers 24-14 on nearly 82 percent shooting in the final frame to secure the result.

Adler shot 8-for-12 from the field while leading BU with eight rebounds. Juniors Aoibhe Gormley and Bella McLaughlin each tallied 10 points from the point guard position.

Reese Ericson led Army with 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting from distance. Kya Smith and Camryn Tade each added 15 points.

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU made four of its first five shots in the game to take a 10-8 lead halfway through the first quarter. Senior Anastasiia Semenova and sophomore Hildur Gunnsteinsdóttir each buried three-pointers.
Tade's jumper tied the score before back-to-back driving layups from McLaughlin pushed BU back in front, 14-10.
In the second quarter, the Black Knights leveled the score at 16-16 before sophomore Allison Schwertner muscled her way to the right block for a layup.
BU limited Army West Point to zero field goals in the final 4:44 of the first half to build a 28-22 halftime lead.
Adler and Gormley teamed up for BU's first 10 points in the third quarter, with Adler's jumper at the 5:06 mark extending the Terriers' lead to 38-26.
McLaughlin's layup down the right lane and Gormley's two foul shots a minute later stretched it to 42-28, BU's largest lead of the game.
The Terriers did not make a shot from the field in the last 3:56 of the third, however, while Ericson knocked down two threes as part of a 12-1 Army spurt to close the frame at 43-40.
Gunnsteinsdóttir opened the fourth with a straightaway triple to cushion the Terriers lead to 46-40, but Tade drilled a three-pointer before Ericson scored eight consecutive points to hand the Black Knights a 51-46 edge from the 11-0 run.
Adler and McLaughlin brought the Terriers within one on layups, only for Smith to collect five straight points on a layup and a nostalgic three-point play with 3:28 left in regulation.
With 1:51 to go, Adler's layup sliced the gap to 59-54. However, Tade canned a midrange jumper before Smith's right-corner three made it a 64-54 contest with under 40 seconds left.
