BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — The St. Bonaventure University women’s basketball team suffered its first loss of the season, falling to Binghamton University 67-56. The Bonnies (2-1) were without starting forward, senior Brillana Boyd and turned to fellow senior Kylie Buckley to take over the starting forward role. The Bearcats (3-2) were led by senior guard Bella Pucci’s 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Kyla Hayes led Bonaventure in points, tying her career high at 16, and also recorded four rebounds, two assists and two steals. Binghamton got ahead early, taking an 8-0 lead at the first quarter media timeout. That lead grew the rest of the quarter, and a Pucci buzzer-beater set the Bearcats up 19-3 at the end of the first quarter. The Bonnies started the second quarter on a 15-3 run thanks to eight points from freshman forward Ella Trinkaus and five from sophomore Ivona Djikanovic.
