Nice, France - The Boston College women's basketball team continued its winning ways on its 10-day, five-game tour of Europe with a 100-50 victory over the Nice University team in France Monday night. Earlier on the trip, the Eagles won a 98-42 decision over the same French team. Boston College is slated to play three more games in Italy during this upcoming weekend.
Boston College was led by senior forward Becky Gottstein (Albany, NY), whose 18 points was one of four double-digit performances in the well-balanced Eagle attack. Rachel Byars (Morganfield, KY) just missed a double double with 16 points and seven rebounds while Brianne Stepherson (Middleton, MA) followed with 13 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four steals. Sophomore guard Janelle McManus (Belle Harbor, NY) chipped in with 12 points en route to the victory.
After the two victories over Nice University in France, the Eagles made their way to Italy's renowned city of Venice. They will tour Venice and Florence for two days before moving on to Rome where they will play three games this weekend. The Eagles are scheduled to return to Boston on August 27.
