Coming off of its season-opening loss against Holy Cross, Boston College women's basketball returned to the hardwood on Thursday afternoon. The Eagles dropped the opener in heartbreaking fashion, allowing Holy Cross' Simone Foreman to sneak behind their defense on an inbounds pass and put in a game-winning layup with one second remaining.

On Thursday afternoon against New Hampshire, the Eagles righted their wrongs, taking a 69-57 victory. The matchup was tightly contested early on, with BC taking a slim 28-24 advantage into the halftime break.

New Hampshire won the third quarter 15-11 and tied the game at 39 points apiece going into the final frame. With the teams tied at 46 in the fourth quarter, the Eagles used a late 14-2 runto grab control. The run was started by a three-pointer from Amirah Anderson, who tallied 10 points, seven of which came in the fourth quarter.

BC was able to maintain its 12-point lead and take a 69-57 win. Lily Carmody led the way with a career-high 21 points. She lived at the free throw line, going 10-of-12 at the stripe. Teionni McDaniel wasn't far behind, as she posted 20 points and added six rebounds and four steals. Athena Tomlinson, the team's floor general, put up seven points, six rebounds, and a career-high seven assists.

Both BC and New Hampshire now move to 1-1 on the season. The Eagles will return for their third straight game in Conte Forum on Sunday at noon, when they'll face off against UMass Lowell.
