Irish give one away to Boston College

Notre Dame women’s basketball led BC by 12 with under five minutes to play Thursday but let one get away that shouldn’t have.

Things went great for the Notre Dame women’s basketball team on Thursday night during their game at Boston College.

For roughly 36, anyway.

Leading the Eagles 60-48 with just 3:29 to go, the Irish would surrender an 11-0 run to the Eagles that got things within one in just 1:43. In all, it was a 16-1 run by Boston College as Notre Dame falls to 5-5 overall on the season and 3-3 in ACC play.

Mikki Vaughn recorded her second-straight double-digit scoring effort as she finished with 12 points and seven rebounds while Anaya Peoples nearly put up a double-double as she scored 10 points and pulled down nine boards.

“Super disappointed with how we ended that game. I thought we lost that game with lack of discipline and lack of leadership on the floor. Hats off to Boston College for fighting back,” Notre Dame head coach Niele Ivey stated. “Just taking care of the ball is a concern for us.”

The women’s basketball team had games against Syracuse and Pitt both postponed in the coming week and is not set to return to action again until they play host to this same Boston College team on January 17.
