November 22, 2017 | Women's Basketball
Three players hit double-figures in the Eagles third win of the season.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Sophomore guard Taylor Ortlepp netted a career-high 21 points as the Boston College handed Houston a 79-74 loss Wednesday evening at Conte Forum.
Trailing by one after a 10-0 Houston run midway through the fourth quarter, Ortlepp broke up the scoreless stretch, knocking down a jumper to re-gain the lead. Moments later, freshman Milan Bolden-Morris drained a two-point jumper to ignite an 8-0 and put the game out of reach for the Cougars, 70-63.
Boston College improves to 3-2 on the season, while Houston drops back to .500 at 2-2.
The Eagles shot 87.5 percent from the free throw line in the game and went 12-for-12 in the final quarter. BC also won the battle of the boards, 47-40.
