More of the Same as Boston College Women’s Basketball Falls to Virginia

Although they were able to keep the score close for much of today’s game, BC women’s basketball ended up losing to Virginia by a score of 62-55. The Eagles were tied with Virginia going into the 4th quarter, but allowed their opponents to run away with the games.

Sloppy play continues to haunt the Eagles - in today’s match they committed 22 turnovers, allowing Virginia to score 21 points off of turnovers. BC made only 26.7% of attempted 3 pointers and shot with 46% accuracy from the paint.

BC did out-rebound Virginia, with 37 rebounds to Virginia’s 35. BC also outdid Virginia with 5 blocked shots compared to Virginia’s 3.

As usual, Mariella Fasoula led the Eagles in points and rebounds. Kelly Hughes had a rough game, making only 3 of her attempted field goals and 2 of her attempted 3 pointers. The Eagles aren’t a deep enough team to win unless both of their star players are performing well, so they’ll need Hughes and Fasoula to stay accurate.

BC returns to action on Thursday at 7 PM to face Notre Dame.
