No. 3 NC State Captures 76-57 Win over BC
January 03, 2021 | Women's Basketball
Freshman Ally VanTimmeren scored 10 in her collegiate debut
RALEIGH, N.C. - No. 3/3 NC State remained undefeated on the season as the Wolfpack defeated visiting Boston College 76-57 Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum. The Wolfpack moved to 10-0 overall and 5-0 in ACC play while the Eagles dropped to 4-4 overall and 0-4 in conference play.
Â
NC State center Elissa Cunane led all scorers in Sunday's game with 24 points on 9-of-9 shooting while adding eight rebounds.
"We played hard and we played with our hearts for the majority of the game," said Boston College head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee after the game. "I just don't think we always played smart out there, especially when we're playing the number three team in the country. I thought NC State played physical, played hard and they also played smart."
Juniors Taylor Soule and Cameron Swartz led BC in scoring with 14 points each.
Â
Freshman Ally VanTimmeren made her Boston College debut after graduating early from high school in December. The Michigan native contributed 10 points and six rebounds, and drained two three-point field goals for the Eagles.
Â
It was an impressive debut for VanTimmeren, who just arrived on campus December 26.
Â
It was a strongly contested opening frame as the score was 21-17 in favor of the Wolfpack after one quarter of play. The Eagles were 3-of-5 from three-point range in the first quarter. Junior Makayla Dickens and Soule led BC in scoring with four points each.
Â
The Wolfpack outscored the Eagles 17-12 in the second quarter to extend their lead to 38-29 at the half. NC State took the nine-point lead into the locker room as the Wolfpack shot 50% from the field in the first half.
Â
The Eagles were unable to gain any ground in the second half of the contest as they were outscored 38-28 after the break, despite forcing 10 fourth quarter turnovers.
Â
Swartz and Soule combined for 16 points in the final 20 minutes for the Eagles.Â
Â
Boston College is back in action on Thursday, January 7 versus Notre Dame at Conte Forum. The game tips at 8 p.m. with live coverage on ACC Network.
