The University of Miami women’s basketball team felt relieved to come away with a 76-73 home win over Boston College on Sunday afternoon at the Watsco Center.
“I’m glad I’m not wearing a silk blouse because it would be sweat stained, and embarrassing for my family,” UM coach Katie Meier joked after the Hurricanes rallied from an eight-point second-half deficit and survived a frenetic final few minutes. There were 18 lead changes in the game.
It was Miami’s fourth win in a row, following victories over Duke, North Carolina and an 84-71 road upset over Syracuse. UM improved to 18-4 overall and 6-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, its best league start since 2011-12.
