Rome, Italy -- The Boston College women's basketball team continued its 10-day, five-game tour of Europe with a 106-43 victory over the Vitterbo Club in Rome, Italy Friday afternoon. Earlier on the trip, the Eagles won two contests against the Nice University team in France. Boston College is slated to play two more games in Rome this weekend.
Boston College senior Nicole Conway (Glenmont, NY) led the balanced Eagle scoring attack with 21 points. Classmate Rachel Byars (Morganfield, KY) followed closely behind with 19 points while also pulling down eight rebounds. Sophomore Amber Jacobs (Clarks Summit, PA) and senior Brianne Stepherson (Middleton, MA) rounded out the Eagle players in double digits with 17 and 13 points respectively. Stepherson added nine steals to the cause.
The Eagles spent the earlier part of this weekend touring the Bell Tower of the Piazza del Duomo in Florence. In between the three games in Rome this weekend, the team will make its way to the world-famous Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, and Vatican City. The Eagles are scheduled to return to Boston on August 27.
