CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College women's basketball team handed regional foe Holy Cross a 90-43 lashing Wednesday night at Conte Forum. Eleven different Eagles tallied points and the guard tandem of junior Jessalyn Deveny (Westford, Mass.) and senior Amber Jacobs (Clarks Summit, Pa.) chipped in 21 and 20 points, respectively, to mark the third straight game that the two have scored 20 or more points apiece in the same game.
Boston College improves to 5-0 while Holy Cross falls to 3-3.
Jacobs scored 20 points shooting 7-for-8 from the field and added 6 assists while Deveny went 10-for-12 from the free throw line on her way to 21 points. The two led a barrage of Eagle scoring that posted an impressive 56.9 shooting percentage from the field and went 20-for-24 from the line as all 11 players participating scored at least one basket.
Sophomore Aja Parham (San Antonio, Texas) shot 3-for-4 and from the field and scored nine points and added five rebounds while freshman Sarah Marshall (Falmouth, Maine) posted eight points and five assists. Freshmen Kindyll Dorsey (Manchester, N.H.) and Emily Vogts (North Newton, Kan.) tallied their first career points in the win.
