Boston College Women’s Basketball Continues to Dominate at Home, Defeats Virginia Commonwealth

The Boston College women’s basketball team improved to 4-0 at home and 4-2 overall with a strong 87-52 victory over the VCU Rams today. The Eagles looked super solid as a team in today’s win, with 5 players scoring in the double digits and the whole team out-rebounding VCU 39-29.

Taylor Soule scored the first basket of the game just 30 seconds in, and the Eagles kept going from there. BC heavily outscored VCU in every quarter: 23-10 in the first, 22-13 in the second, 21-16 in the third, and 21-13 in the fourth. This type of consistency was good to see from the Eagles, as they have had some problems slowing down later in the game in the past.

The Eagles, who shot at 56% today, were led by Marnelle Garraud who had a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists, and by Milan Bolden-Morris who scored 19 points, including 5 3 pointers. Cameron Swartz added 12 points and 6 assists, Makayla Dickens scored 11 points, and Emma Guy led her team with 7 rebounds and added 11 points as well. Soule, who started off the scoring for BC, ended the game with 9 points and 4 rebounds.

Up next, the Eagles head to Puerto Rico to take on Charlotte and Tulane in the Puerto Rico Classico.
