The Eagles improve to 8-2 on the season, while extending their series record over the Bobcats to 3-0. Kathrin Ress (Salorno, Italy) led the Eagles with 18 points, a season-high.
To start the match-up, Ress got Boston College on the board at 1:09 when she made a lay-up off a pass from Brooke Queenan (West Chester, Pa.). The combination of Ress and Sarah Marshall (Falmouth, Maine) put the Eagles on top, 13-2, 4:31 into the game.
Ress' lay-up at 4:20 started a 15-0 run that would extend the Eagles lead to 21-2. Sophia Kyritsis hit a jumper that halted the run and cut the lead to 17 points, however the Eagles would go on another 10-0 run behind back-to-back three-pointers by Kindyll Dorsey (Manchester, N.H.).
