Boston University women\u2019s basketball took advantage of a major second-quarter run to handily defeat Colgate 59-45 on the road Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers (12-8, 8-1 PL) maintained their lead atop the Patriot League standings with the win, while the Raiders\u2019 (3-18, 1-9 PL) second-consecutive loss keeps them in last place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sophomore center Caitlin Weimar set a new BU career-high with 17 points. Weimar also added 10 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the conference season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Junior guard Sydney Johnson contributed 16 points and led with six rebounds. Off the bench, junior guard Maggie Pina posted 11 points of her own after going 4-for-6 from the field, including three made baskets from beyond the arc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BU got off to a modest start in the first quarter. Johnson made back-to-back buckets to give the Terriers a 5-0 lead, but Colgate quickly made up the deficit. The teams traded buckets for the remainder of the period, which ended 15-14 in BU’s favor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers quickly jumped out to a lead in the second, led by Johnson, Pina and Weimar. BU extended its lead to double-digits midway through the period, outscoring the Raiders 19-6 during the quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Colgate\u2019s shooters were able to keep pace with the Terriers during the third, BU still recorded its largest advantage of the game, 17 points, late in the period.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was much of the same to begin the fourth, with a three-pointer by Colgate\u2019s Alexa Brodie even cutting the Raiders\u2019 deficit to single-digits. However, a scoreless streak nearly four minutes long at the end of the quarter allowed BU to wrap up the win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brodie finished the game as Colgate\u2019s leading scorer with 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting, in addition to three assists, three steals and two rebounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers have now won four straight contests against the Raiders, dating back to Feb. 12, 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ll face a test in their next game, a road matchup against fourth-place Bucknell. The Bison\u2019s roster features Taylor O\u2019Brien, whose 16.8 PPG ranks second in the conference, and Cecelia Collins, a four-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week selection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
