ACC Releases 2018-19 WBB Schedule

CHESTNUT HILL, MASS. – The Boston College women's basketball team and the Atlantic Coast Conference released the 2018-19 schedule this afternoon, which features eight home conference games at Silvio O. Conte Forum.

The ACC Network Extra will live stream 14 of BC's 16 ACC games, and nine non-conference this season. Two games will air on a regional network (NESN).

"The opportunity to compete in the ACC, which is the premier women's basketball conference in the country, is exciting for our players, staff and fans. With a young team, our goal is to prepare them through our non-conference schedule to be ready for the challenges of conference play. We are looking forward to having many of our non-conference games at home and then opening up ACC play here on The Heights.'' said BC head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee."

Boston College will play nine non-conference and eight ACC games at Conte Forum this season. Of those eight ACC home matches, five of the teams coming to the Heights competed in the 2017-18 NCAA Tournament – NC State, Florida State, Duke, Syracuse and 2017-18 National Champion Notre Dame.

The Eagles will open 2018-19 ACC action at home on Thursday, Jan. 3 against Georgia Tech. Three days later NC State will come to Conte Forum for a 2 p.m. tip off. Both games will be aired on the ACC Network Extra.

BC will then set out on a two-game road swing. On Thursday, Jan. 10, Boston College will be at Wake Forest, followed by a Sunday, Jan. 13 tilt at Pittsburgh. Both games will air on the local regional sports network (NESN).

There is no rest for the weary in the ACC as the Eagles will then host Florida State four days later on Thursday, Jan. 17. BC will turn around and fly to Indiana to play the Fighting Irish on Sunday, Jan. 20, the first of two regular season games against Notre Dame. A rare Thursday night off will help the Eagles prepare for a trip to Florida as they will play at Miami on Jan. 27.

The Eagles finally get to sleep in their own beds for a two-game home swing as BC will host Duke on Thursday, Jan. 31, followed by a Sunday afternoon game against Virginia Tech (Feb. 3).

Up next for BC would be a trip to Virginia to play the Cavaliers on Thursday, Feb. 7, and then head north to take on former Big East rival Syracuse on Sunday, Feb. 10.
