VESTAL, N.Y. – Ivy Gogolin (Hopkinton, Mass.) scored 12 of her team-leading 16 points after halftime, and Brooke Kane (Derry, N.H.) added 10 points, eight boards and two steals, but the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team was outlasted 58-56 by Binghamton University in Monday afternoon's back-and-forth America East clash at the Events Center.

In a game that featured 17 lead changes and five ties, UNH (3-8, 3-5 America East) was edged by Binghamton (3-7, 3-5 AE), which salvaged a split of the two-game series. Kaylee Wasco scored a career-high 20 points (8-for-16 FG, 4-for-7 FT) and grabbed six rebounds for the Bearcats.

The Wildcats seized their final lead, 56-55, with 56 seconds remaining when Gogolin dropped in a runner off a feed from Amanda Torres (Hudson, N.H. / six points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals).

Denai Bowman (eight points) buried two free throws with 15 seconds left to put BU in front, 57-56. Following a UNH timeout with 5.1 seconds left, Kane's right baseline jumper was blocked by Clare Trager (10 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks), who hit one foul shot to cap the scoring.
