NEWTON, Mass. (Interstat) — The Rider Broncs, coming off a season-opening win, will face a step up in competition when they visit the Boston College Eagles in a nonconference women’s basketball game Wednesday at Silvio O. Conte Forum.

Rider (1-0) opened its season with a 65-58 home victory over Lafayette on Nov. 6. Kristina Ekofo Yomane led the way with 19 points and nine rebounds, while Aliya McIver added 11 points and eight rebounds.

Boston College (2-1) looks to build on the momentum of an 82-53 rout of UMass Lowell on Sunday. Athena Tomlinson dished out seven assists to go with 13 points, and Teionni McDaniel scored a team-high 15 points in the win. The Eagles’ only loss was a narrow 72-71 defeat to Holy Cross on Nov. 3.

The game marks the first meeting between the programs. For Rider, it is the start of a challenging three-game road trip, with contests at Stonehill and Bryant to follow. Boston College will hit the road for a matchup with Providence on Saturday.
