November 15, 2025 | Women's Basketball
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Boston College women's basketball suffered a 70-61 setback to Providence on Saturday afternoon in Alumni Hall.
​
The Eagles fall to 3-2 on the season, while the Friars improve to 2-1.
​
Lily Carmody led the way in scoring for the Eagles with 18 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the floor and 7-for-11 from the line. Erin Houpt came off the bench to tie a season high with 11 points, hitting all three of her shot attempts, including three from deep.
​
Athena Tomlinson posted a second straight game with 10 assists, while Amirah Anderson grabbed a team-best eight boards with six points. Â
​
Carmody and Houpt highlighted the opening quarter for BC, scoring 14 of its 16 points. With the score tied at 10-apiece with 1:23 left, Houpt hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Eagles a 16-10 advantage going into the second frame.
​
The Friars responded in the second quarter, shooting over 55 percent from the field. PC scored 10 of the final 13 points over the last 3:34 of the half to take a 34-27 lead.
​
Boston College sliced the deficit to one possession after PC went up 44-34 following an 8-1 spurt started by a Kayla Rolph 3-pointer. Anderson later capped off the surge with a jumper as the shot clock was winding down, shortening the gap to 45-42. However, the hosts held BC to three points over the final 3:46 of the third to stretch its lead back to 10.
​
Providence stayed in front of BC in the fourth quarter, never relinquishing its lead. Houpt hit a pair of free throws to cut the lead to six, but the Friars pulled away for the win.
​
BC returns to Conte Forum on Wednesday, hosting Harvard at 6 p.m.
