The Boston College women’s basketball team opened conference play today as the Eagles welcomed the #7 Hokies and former Eagles Taylor Soule and Clara Ford to Conte Forum. Unfortunately, the ranked Hokies proved unbeatable for the Eagles, who lost this one by a score of 73-58.
Both teams started out slow on offense, with BC in particular struggling to hit the net in the first quarter. At the first media timeout (3:46 to go in the first) Maria Gakdeng and Dontavia Waggoner had BC’s only 2 baskets. Unfortunately, BC would only score one more basket in the first 10 minutes of play (a 3 pointer from Taina Mair), and BC went into the second down 17-7.
