Eagles Fall to Syracuse, 75-57
January 28, 2018 | Women's Basketball
Four of five starters produce double figure scoring efforts
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – On Sunday afternoon, the Boston College women's basketball team fell to Syracuse, 75-57, in an ACC match up at Chestnut Hill on Alumni Day.
Â
The Eagles (6-15, 1-7 ACC) came out the gate hot, connecting on 50 percent of shots from the floor for their best frame of shooting during the game. BC was only down by three heading into the second quarter.
Â
Syracuse (17-5, 5-4 ACC) found its spark, notching 21 points in the second quarter to the Eagles' 10, increasing the Orange lead to 14 by the end of the half.
Â
Maroon and gold attempted to mount a second-half comeback, scoring 31 points – including the team's four threes – but Syracuse's 23 points in the third quarter alone boosted them to a victory.
Â
BC connected 63 percent from the floor in the fourth-quarter mad dash and 44 percent overall. Syracuse hit 43 percent from the floor throughout the game, but connected every shot from the free throw line.
