Raleigh, NC - On a two-game road swing, Boston College women's basketball team came home empty handed as the Eagles dropped the second game, 64-46, to North Carolina State at the Reynold's Coliseum.
The Eagles, who lost to Georgia Tech on Thursday, are now 11-10 overall and 1-6 in the ACC, while North Carolina State is improves to 15-7 and 4-3 in the ACC.
NC State 6-foot-7 center Gillian Goring had 20 points, while Ashley Key added 11 points. BC was led by Kathrin Ress with 17 points and Beth Egnell and Victoria Jones with seven points apiece.
NC State scored six straight points at the start of the second half and Boston College had no answer. The Eagles were hurt when Ress picked up her fourth foul at 18:52 in the half. Freshman Ayla Brown broke the Eagles offensive drought when she hit a lay-up at 14:56. NC State held a 44-27 lead at 11:39 when Key hit a jumper in the lane.
Consecutive turnovers by BC gave NC State a 52-29 lead and the Eagles seemed to never cut into the Wolfpack lead.
In the first half, NC State took a 6-2 lead in the first seven minutes of action as BC hit only two foul shots by Kindyll Dorsey and had six turnovers. NC State pulled away when BC center Kathrin Ress picked up her second foul. The Wolfpack pounded the ball inside to Goring, who had 14 halftime points.
Ress came back in the seven minute mark and scored nine straight points for the Eagles to cut the lead to seven points. NC State took a 34-23 lead into the locker room at the half when Goring hit a jumper from the wing and two foul shots with under a minute to play.
The half was riddled with fouls as both teams combined for 24 halftime fouls (BC had 13, three on Ress). The Eagles only hit seven-of-11 from the line and 30 percent from the field, while NC State hit nine-for-11 from the charity stripe.
The Eagles will return home on Thursday, February 1 as they will host No. 3 North Carolina at 7 p.m.
