WORCESTER, Mass. – Junior forward Meg Cahalan scored a career-high 25 points as the Holy Cross women's basketball team earned a 60-47 win over Patriot League foe and Turnpike Trophy rival Boston University Saturday afternoon in the Hart Center Arena.

Cahalan was 9-of-13 (69.2 percent) from the field and 5-of-9 (55.5 percent) from beyond the arc with the five triples being a career-best for the Crusaders (15-7, 8-3 PL). She tacked on five rebounds, a block, and a steal with zero turnovers en route to receiving the Rev. George L. O'Brien Award given by Holy Cross Club of Greater Worcester to the Winter Homecoming game MVP.
 
Senior Lindsay Berger was the other Crusader to reach double-figures in the game filling the box score with 12 points (5-of-10, 50 percent FG), five rebounds, a career-high matching four blocks and a steal.
 
For BU (8-14, 2-9 PL), Allison Schwertner led the way with 10 points and eight boards in 25 minutes of action.
