CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The Boston College Eagles (3-0) took down the Fairfield Stags (0-2), winning 72-64 on Sunday afternoon.

Earl Grant moves to 3-0 in his Eagles tenure, as Makai Ashton-Langford logged a season-high 17 points, with his younger brother DeMarr Langford Jr. adding 16 points and 7 rebounds to pace Boston College to the victory in the Conte Forum.

Supreme Cook lead the Stags in scoring with 16 points, adding 7 rebounds as well. Taj Benning and TJ Long logged 14 and 13 points, respectively, in a battle that lasted all forty minutes.
