CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The NC State women's basketball team won 106-84 at Boston College on Thursday behind a season-high 61 percent shooting from the field (38-of-62). The Wolfpack's 106 points is the third most points scored by the Pack in an ACC game and most since NC State's 120 points against Virginia in 1991. The last time the Pack scored 100+ points in a road game came at Howard (127) in 1992.
NC State had four players in double digits and two with 20 pieces led by Zoe Brooks' 27 and Tilda Trygger's career-high 25. The Pack won the rebounding battle (37-30) and points in the paint battle (56-26). BC shot a school record 16 3-pointers in the loss and NC State improved to 8-2 in ACC play and 15-6 on the season.
The game saw six lead changes in the first four minutes. BC started 4-of-5 from 3-point to lead by three after three minutes, but then NC State answered with an 8-0 run. At the media timeout taken with 4:13 left in the first, NC State led 17-14. A Devyn Quigley jumper extended the Pack's lead to seven, but BC answered with a 6-0 run. Khamil Pierre, who had 10 of her 19 points in the first quarter, delivered a second chance layup as time expired and NC State led 27-22 after one.
Destiny "Ky'She" Lunan drove the basket for two to extend the Pack's lead to nine, but then BC hit back-to-back 3-pointers. Trygger splashed in a 3-pointer to begin an 8-0 run for the Pack. BC continued to shoot hot from beyond the arc, shooting 11-of-24 from beyond the arc in the first half. At the media timeout with 3:12 left in the second, NC State led 50-41. The Pack would go on to outscore BC 30-26 in the second, as the Pack led 57-48 at the half, while shooting 63 percent from the field (19-of-30) in the first half.
Pierre came up with a layup to begin the third to help the Pack start the second half on an 8-2 run. A Brooks triple put the Pack up by 15, 65-50, as BC called a timeout with 7:57 left in the third. The Pack was held in a scoring drought for two minutes until Quigley hit a jumper. BC cut the lead to single digits at seven with an 8-0 run, as NC State was held in a three-minute scoring drought. The Pack went nearly five minutes without a field goal until Zamareya Jones knocked down a 3-pointer at the buzzer. NC State led 76-63 after three quarters.
Qadence Samuels scored seven straight points to begin the fourth quarter and a Brooks layup pushed the Pack's lead to 20. Trygger then delivered a basket through contact to deliver the three-point play for her first 20-point game of her career. Trygger's layup put the Pack up by 25 and then BC made back-to-back triples. Jones then delivered a 3-pointer in response and the Pack outscored BC 30-21 in the fourth to win 106-84. The Pack's 30 points in the second and fourth marked the second and third 30-point quarters this season.
