Long-range shooting helps BC women end skid against UNC

North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell looked at the box score, saw that Boston College made 15 3-point shots and assumed that was a school record. She was 100 percent correct.

The Eagles came to Chapel Hill riding a 10-game losing streak. What they found at Carmichael Arena was their shooting touch. Boston College shot the lights out from beyond the 3-point line, ending its losing streak in the process with a 88-77 win over the Tar Heels, who have now dropped their second in a row and ninth ACC game.

Boston College, two spots below UNC in the ACC standings, didn’t play like a team that had won just one league game before Thursday.
