Army WBB Survives Boston U Push, Locks Up 10th Road Win in 69–62 Statement

Boston, MA — A road gym, a late surge, and a senior who wouldn’t let it slip.

Case Gym had that familiar edge Wednesday night — the kind of tight, echoing building where every whistle feels louder and every run feels like it might tilt the whole game. Army West Point walked into it anyway, did what it has done all season, and walked out with another road scalp.

The Black Knights beat Boston University 69–62 on 11.02.2026, securing their 10th road win of the season and completing the season sweep of the Terriers. It was Army’s third straight victory, and it looked like a clinic for long stretches — until it turned into a test.

When Boston finally made it uncomfortable late, Army had the answer: Reese Ericson, the program’s lone senior, rose into a three with 1:18 left and buried the shot that broke the tension and sealed the night.

First quarter: Army sets the tone early

The Black Knights didn’t waste time. Taylor Wilson opened the scoring with a three-pointer, Brooke Wilson followed with a bucket, and the Black Knights established control before the first media timeout, up 10–4.

Boston tried to match the pace, but Army’s spacing and patience kept producing clean looks. Ericson capped the quarter with a momentum three, and Army carried an 18–11 lead into the second.

Second quarter: the response, then the run

Boston came out swinging and ripped off a 7–0 run to tie it at 18. For a moment, Case Gym woke up — the crowd rising, the Terriers moving with confidence.

Then Army snapped back into its identity.

Reganne Reardon halted the drought with a mid-range jumper. From there, the Black Knights turned the game into a sequence of sharp decisions: extra passes, quick reads, and the kind of ball security that travels.

With Army up 24–21, Taylor Wilson drilled her second three, then added two free throws. Fiona Hastick cashed in on a turnover for her first basket. And then Ericson lit the fuse.

Her three to end the stretch completed a 10–0 Army run, pushing the lead to 34–21 — the loudest moment of the night coming from the visitors’ bench.

Army went into halftime up 38–24, shooting 45.2% and hitting 6-of-14 from deep.

Third quarter: Boston makes the game a fight

Army’s biggest lead came early in the third at 43–24, and it felt like the Black Knights were ready to cruise.

Boston refused.

Army’s offense stalled — just 13 points in the quarter — and the Terriers chipped away possession by possession. By the end of the period, the lead had shrunk to 51–42.

The gym got louder. The margin got thinner. The game stopped being comfortable.

“These girls are a special group. They are so dialed in to what we need to do every single day. I told them to just focus on February and right now we’re 3-0. Now we have to do whatever it takes to get to 4-0.” – Katie Kuester Army Head Coach

Fourth quarter: Ericson’s dagger, Tade’s ice-cold finish

Army kept Boston at arm’s length for most of the fourth, but with 1:58 left, the Terriers cut it to six.

That’s when Ericson stepped into the moment.

With 1:18 remaining, she hit her sixth three of the night — a shot that didn’t just add points, it stole momentum. Army’s lead jumped back to nine, and from there it became a free-throw game.

Camryn Tade closed it with five free throws in the final minute, turning Boston’s last push into a slow, inevitable finish.

Final: Army 69, Boston U 62.

By the numbers

• Reese Ericson: 19 points (season high), 6 threes
• Camryn Tade: 17 points; now 12+ points in 11 of the last 14 games
• Taylor Wilson: 10 points, 4 steals, team-high 7 rebounds
• Kya Smith: 6 assists
• Army: 19 assists, 8 turnovers
• Army won: points off turnovers (25–8), second-chance points (12–3), rebounds (29–24)

Boston shot 51.2% from the field, but Army’s pressure created the difference: 16 Terrier turnovers and a steady stream of extra possessions.

What it means

Army is now 19–5 (10–3 Patriot League), and the road résumé keeps growing. Ten road wins isn’t a footnote — it’s an identity. This team doesn’t just survive away from home; it expects to win.

And when the game tightens, it has a senior who can still quiet a gym with one shot.
