Heading into Thursday night’s game, the BU women’s basketball team had one loss in America East Conference play. It just so happened that the Terriers were facing the team that handed them that loss, Albany.

For the first couple of minutes, it looked as if BU would exact revenge on the Great Danes, jumping to an 8-0 lead. But Albany had other plans as it scored the next 14 points and never looked back en route to a 79-72 victory at SEFCU Arena in Albany, N.Y.
