Taylor Soule's duel against Sam Breen reached its final act in overtime of Boston College's 90-82 overtime win on Sunday. The UMass forward's 31-point performance challenged the junior superstar, and their alternating victories on a quarter basis drew paces in the sand after the Minutewomen clawed back from a 20-point deficit. The grueling battle was a five-act Broadway production on the hardwood, which is why its final five minutes were almost anticlimactic.
BC's defense held Breen to one meaningless basket with three seconds left in the extra session, and her old-fashioned three-point play did nothing except ensure UMass didn't lose by 10.
