Box Score Highlights Postgame Audio - Melissa Graves & Bella McLaughlin

BOSTON – Despite 15 points from junior Inés Monteagudo Pardo as well as 14 points each from senior Anastasiia Semenova and junior Bella McLaughlin, the Boston University women's basketball program dropped a 69-62 decision to Army West Point on Wednesday evening at Case Gym.

BU (7-17, 3-10 PL) turned what was a 19-point deficit midway through the third quarter into a two-possession contest in the final period but pulled no closer as the Black Knights (19-5, 10-3 PL) converted 16 Terrier turnovers into 25 points.

Monteagudo matched her career high with five three-pointers. McLaughlin added seven assists and five rebounds in her 11th start of the season. Semenova collected six boards and two steals.

Reese Ericson led all scorers with 19 points for Army. Camryn Tade and Taylor Wilson each dropped 17 and 10 points, respectively.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Both teams traded buckets in the game's first three minutes before Army West Point built a 15-6 cushion on a 10-2 run that lasted nearly four minutes as Tade knocked down a pair of jumpers.
BU turned an 18-11 deficit after the first to an 18-18 tie with seven straight points in the opening 1:50 of the second. McLaughlin drove for a layup and fed Semenova for her own basket before Monteagudo canned a left-corner triple.
Army responded with its own 6-0 that Ericson capped with a four-point play on a right-wing three while drawing the foul, replenishing the visitors' lead to 24-18.
In the final 4:55 in the half, the Black Knights rattled off a 14-3 spurt. Fiona Hastick sank two layups while Ericson and Taylor Wilson added threes to put Army up 38-24 at halftime.
The score stretched to 43-24 three minutes into the second half when Kya Smith stuck a layup on Taylor Wilson's steal and Ericson nailed another three.
Sophomore Allison Schwertner flushed two layups before Monteagudo buried two three-pointers in the final minute of the third, the last pulling BU within single digits, 51-42 to cap a 10-3 Terrier run across 2:44 of play.
Tade and Taylor Wilson ignited the fourth quarter with baskets to re-establish a double-digit lead, but Monteagudo countered with a triple off McLaughlin's dish. Junior Aoibhe Gormley drilled her own left-wing three to cut the gap to 57-48 with 6:18 to play.
Freshman Kate Allard deposited her first collegiate three-pointer at the top of the arc with under four minutes to play, then McLaughlin's nostalgic three-point play on a driving layup made it a two-possession game, 61-55, as the clock read 1:58.
Ericson helped seal the result 40 seconds later on the next Army possession with a three-pointer off a screen for a 64-55 lead. The Black Knights would then hit five foul shots to maintain distance despite another McLaughlin layup and Semenova' second three-pointer.
