Purdue loses heartbreaker to Boston College

We knew Boston College would be a touch matchup. They have all 5 starters returning from last season and added a college ready true freshman in 6-4 post player Mariella Fasoula. Who absolutely schooled all three of our 5 position players in this game. Playing in only her 7th college game, it was Fasoula who took over the game for large stretches, finishing with 23 points on 11-15 shooting, along with 9 rebounds and two blocks. Some of her shots that went in looked like schoolyard fugly ugly scoop shots. However, Purdue failed to bring another defender in to stop these scoop shots where she had brought the ball down to where even shorter players could have blocked them.
