NEWTON, Mass. (Interstat) — The Boston College Eagles used a dominant first quarter to set the tone and cruised to a 92-52 victory over the Rider Broncs in a non-conference women’s basketball game Wednesday night at Silvio O. Conte Forum.

The Eagles exploded for 31 points in the opening period while holding the Broncs to just nine, establishing a 22-point lead from which Rider would never recover. The early burst was fueled by efficient ball movement and a relentless attack that capitalized on Rider’s mistakes.

Boston College’s offense was a model of efficiency, scoring 92 points on 69 possessions for an offensive rating of 133.9. Rider, by contrast, managed just 52 points on 70 possessions, an offensive rating of 73.9. The disparity was also evident at the free-throw line, where the Eagles made 25 of 31 attempts while Rider attempted only seven, making five.

Teionni McDaniel led all scorers for Boston College, pouring in 21 points and grabbing six rebounds in just 19 minutes of action. Athena Tomlinson orchestrated the offense with a double-double, dishing out 10 assists to go with 10 points. Lily Carmody added 13 points and six rebounds, while Ava McGee filled the stat sheet with nine points, eight rebounds, and two assists.

For Rider, Aliya McIver was the lone player to reach double figures, finishing with 14 points. Kristina Ekofo Yomane added 10 points.

The Eagles controlled the glass, outrebounding Rider 21-6 on the offensive end, which led to numerous second-chance opportunities. Boston College also forced 18 Rider turnovers, converting them into 25 points, while the Broncs managed only four points off 10 Eagles turnovers.

After the lopsided first quarter, the Eagles maintained their comfortable lead throughout, taking a 49-16 advantage into halftime. Rider showed a brief spark after the break, scoring 24 points in the third quarter, but Boston College matched the offensive output with 27 points of its own to keep the game well out of reach.

The victory improves Boston College’s record to 3-1 on the young season. The Eagles’ lone loss came in their opener against Holy Cross. Rider falls to 1-1 after opening its season with a win over Lafayette.

An announced crowd of 591 was on hand to see the Eagles’ commanding performance. Boston College next travels to face Providence on Saturday. Rider faces a quick turnaround, playing at Stonehill on Thursday.
