AEC Rewind: 1/21/2013

Another weekend of conference play down and whether you are ready or not, February is knocking on our door. That means America East play is closing in on the halfway point. Each game ups the ante as our nine schools battle it out for their #Chance2Dance. Let's get our rewind on.

Box Scores, Recaps and Highlights

Men's Basketball

Albany 56, at Hartford 46: Box/Recap/Highlights

  • Top Performer
    • Peter Hooley (Alb): 18 points (7-14 FG; 3-4 3FG; 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, 3 assists
  • Big Stat
    • After shooting 46.7 percent in the first half (including 4-10 3FG), Hartford was held to just four made field goals in the second half. Albany was able to take away the open looks, particularly from downtown and that made the difference.
  • Supporting Cast
    • Sam Rowley had another big game, as it seems the big man has really arrived as an inside threat for Albany. In 27 minutes, Rowley had 17 points and 8 boards. For the Hawks, Yolonzo Moore II had a big game that included 18 points, 7 boards, 4 steals and 2 helpers.

  • Big Stat
    • Reed played some really big basketball down the stretch for the Bearcats, netting 16 of his 20 points in the final 20 minutes. His efforts helped Binghamton score 11 points off turnovers and 18 points in the paint in the second half.
  • Supporting Cast
    • Reed may have had the best game, but Jimmy Gray was the hero for Binghamton. The senior knocked in the game-winning three-pointer with 2.0 seconds remaining in regulation. Gray finished with 14 points including four threes. Justin Edwards led Maine with 12 points and 6 boards.

  • Big Stat
    • New Hampshire came into the game ranked No. 2 nationally in three-point defense, holding its opposition to 24.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Boston U. was able to crack that defense, nailing eight treys on the day while shooting 50 percent from distance.

    • Clancy Rugg (UVM): 19 points (4-8 FG; 0-1 FT; 11-16 FT), 15 rebounds, 1 block
  • Big Stat
    • Vermont had two big runs in the second half of this game, including a 9-0 run early and a 12-0 run with 10 minutes to go. Aided by a 61.9 percent shooting performance -- and 17 points from Candon Rusin -- the Catatmounts did what they needed to down the stretch.
  • Supporting Cast
    • Hardly just a supporter, Rusin had a game-high (and career-high) 25 points in this one. In the final two minutes of the game, Rusin made a pair of plays that helped seal the deal for Vermont. Stony Brook freshman Jameel Warney was again outstanding, recording a double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) while shooting a cool 66 percent from the floor.

  • Top Performer
    • Megan Craig (Alb): 13 points (5-9 FG; 3-5 FT), 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal
  • Big Stat
    • In what was a defensive battle the entire game, Albany took control in overtime by outscoring the Hawks 8-1 and never letting them find an offensive rhythm. Hartford's only score in the overtime period was a free throw with just 21 seconds left.
  • Supporting Cast
    • Taylor Clark was great for Hartford on the day, netting 16 points (8-11 FG) while grabbing five boards and not turning the ball over once. The Great Danes, meanwhile, got a well-rounded effort from Ebone Henry. The senior only put up six points, but had 12 rebounds and six steals on the day.

Liz Wood.
Binghamton 67, at Maine 65: Box/Recap

  • Top Performer
    • Liz Wood (Maine): 20 points (6-9 FG; 2-2 3FG; 6-7 FT), 9 rebounds, 6 assists

  • Supporting Cast
    • Stephanie Jensen had herself a game, including what would prove to be the game-winning three-pointer with 1:16 remaining. Jensen had 15 points on the day including 12 in the second half. Maine also got a nice game from Lauren Bodine, who had 15 points and three steals.

  • Top Performer
    • Cari Reed (UNH): 22 points (8-15 FG; 6-10 3FG), 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1 steal
  • Big Stat
    • A back and forth game throughout, Boston U. used a 14-2 to go up 54-38 with 3:21 to play. New Hampshire saddled the Terriers with their first halftime deficit in conference play and nearly came back one more time, but that big run late in the half was too much.
  • Supporting Cast
    • Morgan Frame also had a big game for the Wildcats, netting 16 points (7-13 FG) while hauling in six boards. For the Terriers, Chantell Alford led the way with 13 points while setting a new Boston U. record with 220 career three-pointers.

  • Top Performer
    • Sabre Proctor (SBU): 16 points (7-11 FG; 2-2 FT), 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block
  • Big Stat
    • Stony Brook got four players into double-figures for the game, including Proctor's big effort off of the bench. This balanced scoring attack proved to be the big difference against Vermont, which had only one starter reach double-figures.
  • Supporting Cast
    • Brittany Snow also dumped in 16 points for Stony Brook, a career-high for her. Jessica Previlion also had a nice game, notching a double-double (10 points, 10 boards) for the Seawolves. Vermont was led by Kayla Burchill, who had 12 points and six boards in 14 minutes.
