The No. 18/16 Syracuse women's basketball team returns to action Sunday on the road at Boston College (4-2). Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. on ACC Network with Kelly Gramlich and Sam Ravech on the call.Â
The Orange (4-1, 1-1 ACC) look to bounce back from their first loss of the season Thursday night. The Orange offense was stifled by North Carolina (6-2) in a 92-68 loss in its second-straight ACC road game to start conference play. Syracuse was led by Emily Engstler who tallied 18 points and 10 rebounds for her first double double of the season in 18 minutes off the bench. It was Englster's 10th career double double and second-straight against the Tar Heels. Freshman Kamilla Cardoso tallied her first career double double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Kiara Lewis (10 points) and Kiara Fisher (11 points) also scored in double figures for the Orange.Â
Cardoso leads 'Cuse with 13.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game this season. Engstler nearly averages a double double with 9.0 ppg and 9.0 rpg while Syracuse's backcourt of Tiana Mangakhia and Kiara Lewis average 11.0 ppg each. Syracuse is holding opponents to 25 percent from three-point range and averages 7.2 blocks per game.Â
Boston College enters Sunday's game on a two-game losing streak to start conference play. The Eagles lost their ACC opener to Georgia Tech (86-68) on Dec. 9 and led by as many as 16 vs. #4 NC State on Dec. 13 but a 28-9 run by the Wolfpack in the fourth quarter handed BC a 75-69 loss. Taylor Soule is pacing the Eagles this season with 16.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Mickayla Dickens and Cameron Shwartz are the only other Eagles in the lineup averaging double figures with a respective 13.5 and 13.0 points per game.Â
Syracuse leads the all-time series 31-25 and is 12-1 against Boston College under head coach Quentin Hillsman. Last time the two met, BC won 88-81 on March 1 at the Carrier Dome. Last time the two met in Conte Forum, 'Cuse won by 10, 89-79, backed by a 23 point performance by Lewis.Â
