Stony Brook still trailed by six with just under four minutes remaining but Binghamton scored the next seven points to take its largest lead of the game, 28-15, with two minutes left.

But the Bearcats held SBU scoreless over the next five minutes as they built their lead back to 18 with nine minutes remaining. Landers ended the Stony Brook drought with a long jumper and Cochran then picked off a Bearcat pass and took it the length of the court for a lay-up and the foul. She then converted the free throw to make it 44-31 with 8:25 left.
A free throw from Jasbrille Swain pushed the Binghamton lead back to 14 but Corona answered with a three-point play to bring SBU within 11 for the first time since late in the first half. But that is as close as the Seawolves would get as Jackie Ward hit two free throws to kick start a 9-0 Binghamton run that put the game away.
Stony Brook held Binghamton to 33.8 percent shooting but shot a season-low 23.2 percent from the field. SBU turned the ball over just 12 times.
