Boston College Basketball Defeats Maine, Moves on to WNIT Second Round

Strong defense helped Boston College defeat Maine in the first round of the WNIT tonight, taking home a 69-44 victory thanks in no small part to 32 defensive rebounds, 6 blocks, and 9 steals.

Maine jumped out to a 5-0 lead to start the game before Ally VanTimmeren grabbed BC’s first basket of the game. The Black Bears stayed in the lead thanks to their 3 point shooting, and led by 15-10 at the first quarter media timeout.

The Eagles defense began to heat up as the first quarter progressed, and forcing a 5 second violation on one possession followed by a shot clock violation on the second helped BC to stop Maine’s offense from building.
