After going 16-0 in the regular season and being America East Conference Champs, the BU Terriers lost to the University of Vermont in the finals on Sunday night at the Chase Reich Family Pavilion at the University of Hartford. Despite their loss on Sunday, the girls still have several reasons to be proud of.
Jesyka Burks-Wiley received America East Player of the Year, Amarachi Umez-Eronini earned herself Defensive Player of the Year, Christine Kinneary was voted Fans' Choice Player of the Year, and Coach Kelly Greenberg earned Coach of the Year. Burks-Wiley, Umez-Eronini, and Kinneary were also named to the America East All-Conference First Team, while senior Kristi Dini was named to the America East All-Conference Third Team.
In addition to an unbelievable season, this squad will also leave their marks in BU history. Kinneary holds the record for dishing out the most assists 543, crushing the previous record held by Debbie Miller '81 at 477. Known for her clutch 3-point shot Dini is the all-time 3-point scorer with 197 made, 25 more than Katie Terhune '04.
The Terriers are now making their debut in the WNIT and will host Central Connecticut on Thursday at Case Gym, 7 p.m. The winner of Thursday's game will face Boston College in Chestnut Hill on Monday, March 23rd.
