About the EaglesÂ
Last Time Out
The Eagles soared past Providence on Sunday with a 67-60 triumph in Conte Forum. Teya Sidberry put forth her best outing of the season, scoring a game and season-high 20 points on an efficient 6-of-9 shooting with five rebounds and one steal. Dontavia Waggoner netted 16 points with six off the glass and a game-best four steals. The duo of Sidberry and Waggoner combined to shoot 13-of-22 from the floor with 11 rebounds and five steals. T'yana Todd chipped in with 11 points, while Andrea Daley recorded nine rebounds with eight points. Kaylah Ivey dished out eight assists. BC's offense shot under 40 percent from the field but forced the Friars into 26 turnovers and 35 percent shooting from the field.Â
A Win Would
- Give BC a 5-1 record.Â
- Give the Eagles a 5-0 record at home.Â
- Improve BC's record to 21-8 all-time against UNH.Â
By the Numbers
4 - Coach Mac is four wins away from 100 for her career at Boston College.
5 - Five players on BC have scored at least 550 points for their career, including four with at least 600 points and two with at least 750.
60 - BC is 50-2 since 2018-19 when allowing 60 or fewer points.Â
61.9 - Through five games, 61.9 percent (13-21) of Waggoner's rebounds have come on the offensive end.Â
83 - BC is fifth in the nation with 83 free throw makes.Â
What to Watch
- See if the Eagles can come up with second-chance opportunities, as they are averaging just nine second-chance points over the last two games.
- Watch if Sidberry can build off her performance against Providence, scoring a season-high 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting with five rebounds.
- See if the Eagles can keep UNH off the line, as the Wildcats are averaging 20 attempts over the last three games.
- Watch if BC can continue its ability to force turnovers. The Eagles are 34th in the nation and first in the ACC forcing 23.8 turnovers per game.
- The Eagles are averaging 37.6 points in the paint this season. See if the Eagles can find ways to score inside after recording just 24 against Providence.Â
