CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Junior Emma Guy scored a career-high 22 points as Boston College defeated Saint Peter's, 89-57, at Conte Forum on Sunday afternoon. BC is now 2-0 and will host Holy Cross on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. in the annual Field Trip Day.

Guy was one of four Eagles to score in double figures. The Eagles forward played 21 minutes, shot 11-for-13 from the floor, with eight rebounds, along with a steal and block.

Junior forward Georgia Pineau pitched in with her first double-double of the season with 14 points and 12 rebounds, while freshman Taylor Soule added 16 points, four boards and two blocks. Freshman Makayla Dickens filled the stat line with 13 points, six assists, four steals and eight rebounds.

BC took an early 7-4 lead but Saint Peter's fought back and cut the lead to just three with 2:22 left in the first quarter. A five-point run by Soule pushed the Eagles lead to 20-12 with 1:08 to play. Saint Peter's would go on a mini-run as BC's lead was just seven points after the first quarter, 23-16.

The Eagles held Saint Peter's scoreless in the first four minutes of the quarter as a layup by Dickens extended the lead, 30-16. Saint Peter's broke the drought at 6:06 in the quarter but the Eagles responded with a 13-4 run to extend the lead to 22 points. Soule had 10 of her points in the second quarter.

BC held a 44-31 halftime lead and that is the closest Saint Peter's would get.

The second half, Boston College continued to look for the fast break and push the ball up court. Guy and Dickens combined for 17 points as BC led, 68-43, after three quarters.

BC outscored Saint Peter's, 21-14, in the final quarter as Guy picked eight points on four-for-four shooting from the floor.
