Boston College led tonight’s game until late in the fourth quarter, but fatigue on BC’s side and aggressive defense on Columbia’s side ended the Eagles’ season with a last second heartbreaker. Columbia ultimately defeated the Eagles by a score of 54-51, and will move on in the WNIT.
The Eagles got off to a good start tonight, as Cam Swartz drained a 3 for the first basket of the game. The game stayed close early, especially due to a few BC fouls, and the Eagles led 13-7 at the midway point of the first quarter. A pair of free throws from Taylor Soule put BC up by 10 with just under 4 minutes to go in the period, and BC ended the quarter up 21-11.
