BOSTON – The Army West Point women's basketball team fell on the road to Boston University, 65-53, Sunday afternoon at Case Gym.

"I'm very proud of the way we competed," Army head coach Dave Magarity said. "I mean BU is a terrific team. I'm not sure who the best team is between them and Bucknell in the league right now."

The Black Knights trailed for most of the contest, but hung around with the Terriers squad which is now 8-1 on the season. Army cut BU's advantage to 52-47 by the 6:28 mark of the fourth quarter, but the Terriers used a late 13-3 run to push ahead by 15 with just under two minutes remaining to secure the win.

Army was led by Alisa Fallon, who finished 17 points on 6-13 shooting. Also finishing in double figures for the Cadets was Kate Murray, who finished with 10. The Terriers had four members score in double-digits led by Maren Durant's 13 points.

Fallon played a part in five of the seven made field goals in the opening quarter, knocking down two shots and assisting on three. Army shot 7-16 in the first quarter and was 3-6 from beyond-the-arc. However, BU shot at 62.5 percent clip in the first to help the Terriers hold a 21-17 lead.

Both teams cooled off in the second quarter with Army shooting 3-13 and the Terriers were 6-17 on their field goal attempts. BU closed out the half on a 6-0 scoring run to take the 36-27 lead into the locker room.

Army shot 7-17 from the field in the third quarter, while BU was 8-21. The Terriers still managed to outscore the Cadets in the frame largely due their eight second chance points.

This was the 13th time this season that the Cadets scored in double digits and was the 34th time of her career.
Fallon also dished out five helpers, to mark her fifth five-assist game of the season.
Murray registered her seventh double-digit scoring game this season, which is second on the team.
