Strong First Quarter Not Enough to Lead Boston College Women’s Basketball Past FSU

Despite a dominant first quarter, the Eagles lost to FSU by a score of 66-58.

The Eagles won the tip-off and scored on their first possession of the game, going up 2-0 on a Taylor Soule to Maria Gakdeng basket. Gakdeng followed her first basket up with a 2-and-1 and then another 2 to put BC up 7-1 early. The Eagles stayed in control, particularly on the boards, getting lots of offensive rebounds and ending the first quarter up 15-9 behind 7 points and 5 rebounds from Gakdeng.

Before the halfway point of the second quarter, 4 separate Eagles racked up 2 personal fouls each, and BC had to start sitting the starters to save them for the second half.
