Two Eagles Slate Career Highs in Loss to No. 5 Notre Dame
February 18, 2018 | Women's Basketball
Taylor Ortlepp reached 24 points; Katie Quandt tallied nine rebounds
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College women's basketball team closed its home slate for the season after being halted by No. 5 Notre Dame, 89-55, Sunday afternoon in Chestnut Hill.
Â
Since this was the home finale, the four seniors – Rachel Gartner, Andie Anastos, Martina Mosetti and Katie Quandt – were honored in a pregame ceremony to thank these student-athletes for their efforts over the past four years.
Â
Neither crew pulled ahead to begin the game until around the six minute mark in the first when the Irish found a 10-0 run to grab a cushiony lead. BC went into the halftime break down 39-30. The final frame began with the Eagles' biggest deficit of the game, which only continued to grow, and the Eagles could not cut into the Irish advantage.
Â
BC went 32 percent shooting from the floor, while ND hit 57 percent.

How it Happened:
- After the Irish opened the scoreboard, it wasn't until around the six minute mark in the first frame when Notre Dame connected two free throws to pulled into the lead with a 10-0 run. Taylor Ortlepp nailed two threes to slightly close the gap, but at the buzzer indicating the end of the frame, BC trailed 19-12.
- ND outscored the Eagles going into the first timeout of the second quarter, 10-7, and ran with it.
- Ortlepp connected five treys to bolster the effort by the Eagles with her 17 first-half points, but the squad was out-shot by Notre Dame. The Irish shot 53 percent from the floor, while BC managed 32 percent in the first half alone.
- The second half was started with another Notre Dame run, this time 13-1, giving the Irish a 19-point lead to end the third. The Eagles were outscored 22-12 in this period, though Ortlepp reached 24 points in the game – her third game of the season to hit over 20 points.
- The Eagles could not diminish the Irish lead and fell, 89-55, in their home finale.
- Katie Quandt achieved a new career-high in rebounds. Earlier in the season at Minnesota (Nov. 19), she recorded eight.
- This is the third game on the season that Taylor Ortlepp has produced over 20 points in a single game. The first was against Houston (21) at home on Nov. 22, then at Virginia Tech (23) on Dec. 31. Her 24 points today is a new career-high for the guard. She also hit six three's in the game, a new career-high.
- Rookie Milan Bolden-Morris made one three-pointer in the game today. She has tied the freshman single season record for three-pointers made with 74. She is tied with Kelly Hughes '17.Â
