 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - After a long layoff, Boston College found its game in time for the NCAA tournament. Brooke Queenan had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Aja Parham scored 16 and the Eagles beat Notre Dame 78-61 in the first round of the women's tournament Sunday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Playing for the first time in 17 days, Boston College (20-11) outrebounded the Irish 42-31, outscored them 29-10 from the free throw line and held their former Big East rival to 34-percent shooting. The eighth-seeded Eagles will play top-seeded Ohio State in the second round of the Albuquerque Regional on Tuesday night.
Freshman guard Lindsay Schrader scored a career-high 29 points and Megan Duffy added 15 for Notre Dame, which fell to 0-8 at Mackey Arena.
