Before Boston College's game against Holy Cross, freshman Marnelle Garraud had a conversation with head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee. It was four days after the Saint Peter's game, and the Eagles held a 2-0 record.
Garraud had been a big part of those games, scoring 19 points in 20 minutes against Rhode Island and distributing five assists in 26 minutes against Saint Peter's. It didn't quell the nerves that came against the Crusaders, though, since she was about to make the jump to starting point guard on an ACC basketball team.
"I knew that role came with a lot of responsibility," Garraud said.
