BC would fall behind 60-39 with 12:20 to play as the Eagles could not keep Miami off the offensive glass. The Eagles offensive was never smooth enough to cut into the Hurricanes lead.
BC shot 45.8 percent in the first half but committed 15 turnovers. The Eagles were led by a strong first half by Tessah Holt. She hit three driving layups to break down the Miami defense and finished the half with eight points. Brown was a spark off the bench as she had six points and two boards in the half.
The Eagles shot 36.2 percent from the floor for the game and finished with a season-high 25 turnovers. BC also lost the battle of the boards, 43-29.
