CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Sophomore guard Taylor Ortlepp netted a career-high 21 points as the Boston College handed Houston a 79-74 loss Wednesday evening at Conte Forum.

Trailing by one after a 10-0 Houston run midway through the fourth quarter, Ortlepp broke up the scoreless stretch, knocking down a jumper to re-gain the lead. Moments later, freshman Milan Bolden-Morris drained a two-point jumper to ignite an 8-0 and put the game out of reach for the Cougars, 70-63.
