Eagles Fall at Virginia Tech
February 06, 2022 | Women's Basketball
BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Boston College women's basketball team fell to Virginia Tech, 85-62, on Sunday afternoon at Cassell Coliseum.
The Eagles fall to 15-8 and 6-6 in the ACC, while the Hokies move to 16-6 and 8-3 in the league.
Three players scored in double figures, with Cameron Swartz scoring 18 points (14 in the second half).
Makayla Dickens hit three of her four field goals from outside the arc en route to 14 points, and Taylor Soule chipped in with 13 points. Maria Gakdeng posted a team-high seven rebounds with four points and three blocks.
The Eagles couldn't overcome early foul trouble in the afternoon, as VT went 31-of-33 from the charity stripe.
BC stayed within striking distance early in the first half thanks to Dickens scoring 10 of her points in the first two frames. The senior scored the first five points of the second quarter to slice a six-point deficit to three after a trifecta.
Virginia Tech responded by going on a 9-0 run to take a 30-20 lead, and held BC to just three field goals over the final 7:09 of the half to go into the break with a 37-24 lead. The Hokies hit 18 of their free throws in the half.
The hosts pulled away in the second half by shooting over 50 percent from the field.
BC returns to action on Thursday in the annual Play4Kay Pink Game against NC State at 6 p.m. in Conte Forum.Â
