The Boston College women’s basketball team came back from a first period deficit today to defeat Eastern Kentucky by a score of 76-65. BC was led by freshman Taina Mair with 23 points, and Ally VanTimmeren had one of her best games of the season with 8 points and a team-leading 10 rebounds. The Eagles shone on the boards in general tonight, grabbing 53 rebounds to Eastern Kentucky’s 30.
Unsurprisingly for a morning game, both teams took a bit of time to shake off the dust. Neither team managed a non-free throw basket until just over 2 minutes into the game, when Maria Gakdeng scored for BC.
