HOW IT HAPPENED
1st Quarter - Freshman Marnelle Garraud opened the action with a three-pointer as BC went up 7-2 in the first two minutes of play. Houston shot back behind a 5-0 run as BC got sloppy with the ball. Garraud ignited a 5-1 run with her second three-pointer as BC went up, 12-8, at the first media. Houston cut into the lead with a jumper by Serithia Hawkins with 44 seconds to play and BC led, 12-11, after one quarter.
2nd Quarter - Emma Guy got BC on the board early to push the lead to 14-11. The teams exchanged baskets before Guy took over late in the second half of the quarter. The junior forward scored eight straight points to push BC's lead to 33-22 with 53.4 seconds to play. A turnover by the Eagles resulted in a Houston jumper Dorian Branch with 25 seconds to play. BC led 33-25 at the half behind Guy's 14 points, 10 in the second quarter alone.
3rd Quarter – Boston College opened up the quarter with two quick baskets to go up, 37-25. The Cougars went on an 8-0 run behind four points from Jasmyne Harris (15 points, five rebounds). A number of turnovers in the quarter hurt BC as the two teams finished the third tied at 44-44. BC's offense was buoyed by 10 points in the quarter by Guy.
4th Quarter – A Taylor Soule layup and three-pointer from Taylor Ortlepp gave BC a 49-44 lead. Houston continued to pressure BC full court and cut the lead to one point with four straight points but Ortlepp would stop the bleeding. She hit her second three-pointer to stretch the Eagles lead to six points with 5:26 left in the game. Houston's Angela Harris kept the Courgars in the game as she scored five straight points and BC's lead was down to one point with 3:39 on the clock.
After a number of missed shots and turnovers by both teams, BC's Makayla Dickens was fouled and she calmly hit two free throws to give BC a 59-56 lead with just under two minutes to play. Pineau would change any momentum Houston tried to take from BC when she rebounded a miss foul shot and scored to give BC some breathing room, 61-56, with 1:13 to play. Harris would miss her next three-pointer attempt, which was boarded by Dickens, who sent Garraud in for a layup to seal the win.
UP NEXT
Boston College will play in the 25th Annual Hawk Classic hosted by St. Joseph's next weekend. The Eagles will open up against Loyola (Md.) on Saturday (2 p.m.), while St. Joe's will host Rider (noon).
