Eagles to host VCU on Sunday at 2.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Senior Georgia Pineau scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Boston College past Rhode Island, 66-55, on Thursday night at Conte Forum in a non-conference game.

Pineau shot 6-for-12 from the floor and scored eight of her 13 points in the second quarter as BC built a 16 point halftime lead.
