DURHAM, N.H. – Senior forward Kat Fogarty (Westminster, Mass.) scored 19 points and pulled down seven rebounds and senior forward Olivia Healy (Reading, Mass.) had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, but the University of New Hampshire women's basketball came up just short against Binghamton, 54-52, on Saturday afternoon in Lundholm Gymnasium.
The Wildcats and Bearcats now have identical records of 14-7 overall and 5-3 in America East.
Senior center Carlie Pogue (Cincinnati, Ohio) also scored in double figures with 14 points and had three rebounds.
Senior guard Brittni Lai (Irvington, N.Y.) drove down the middle and scored on a layup with 19 seconds left to tie the game at 52-52.
At the other end, Binghamton's Imani Watkins was fouled while attempting to shoot a three-pointer with just under one second remaining. She made two of her three foul shots and finished with 35 points.
