The Boston College women's basketball team is on the road again. The Eagles (2-3) will head to Dayton, Ohio to play the Flyers (3-3). BC is coming off a 58-50 loss to Wisconsin in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge on Nov. 30 in Madison.
The Flyers have defeated Bowling Green, Fairleigh Dickinson and Buffalo, while losing to Connecticut, Toledo and Cincinnati.
