Last meeting (Feb. 17, 2010)
Kirsten Jeter scored her 1,000th career point and finished the night with a game-high 22, but it wasn't enough as the Seawolves lost to Boston University, 69-59, in Agganis Arena.

With 3:47 left, Misha Horsey hit a pair of free throws to pull SBU within six. A jumper by Jeter a minute later would narrow the gap to just four, but BU's Ali Hinton would answer with her third three of the game to put the game out of reach for Stony Brook.
