Boston College had opening night for both Men's and Women's Basketball at Conte Forum on Monday night, hosting a pair of mid major squads.
The ladies started the evening, beginning their season against the Lafayette Leopards of the Patriot League. The ladies got off to a cold start, trailing after the opening quarter 14-to-9, but they adjusted and began to heat up from that point on. Four starters broke double figures for BC, with transfer redshirt senior forward, Kennedi Jackson, leading the way with 20 points and a team-high 13 rebounds in her debut.Returning junior guard, T'Yana Todd, added 17 of her own and the team as a whole forced 21 turnovers en route to their dominant opening night.“I thought the second half was just really who we are and who we want to be," she said following the victory.
Redshirt sophomore guard, Donald Hand Jr, was the story of the night for BC. After averaging just five points and one rebound last year, the 6'5'' guard put up 22 points and 10 rebounds to lead the way. His 4-for-14 shooting night summed up the team's struggles on the night, as they shot just 38-percent from the field and 27-percent from three.Head coach, Earl Grant, spoke about the missed opportunities his team had to expand their lead in the second half.
