Eagles Downed by Seton Hall

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College women's basketball team fell, 73-53, to Seton Hall on Sunday afternoon in Conte Forum despite sophomore Georgia Pineau's 18-point, eight-rebound effort.

The Eagles are now 4-6 on the season, while the Pirates advanced to 7-2.

Boston College concluded the first quarter only three points down, but their efforts at redemption were squandered from there on out. Though the Eagles brought the Pirates' lead within eight points after a three from Andie Anastos, Seton Hall took charge and sustained a double-digit lead for the remainder of the game.

BC shot 31.3 percent from the floor while Seton Hall shot 46.8 percent. The Eagles excelled in free throws, connecting 75 percent.
