The hosts out-rebounded the cagers, 46-26, in winning its sixth straight meeting between the two squads. The Eagles captured last year's match-up at Briggs Athletic Center by 26 points.

A 31-10 spree midway through the second half by Boston College (now 3-0 and a good bet to appear on next week's NCAA top-20 poll) put the Eagles up by as many as 41 points and the contest completely out of reach.

The Crimson looked sharp for a brief span late in the game, out-scoring B.C. 13-4 as sophomore guard Mary Baldauf converted consecutive fast break situations.

The Eagles then scored the final 10 points of the contest.

Hayes, who led the Crimson in scoring last season, posted a team-high 11 points in the losing effort. Baldauf finished with nine points and sophomore point guard Barbarann Keffer--who connected on her first three ouside jumpers three straight times down the floor in the first half--contributed eight.

THE NOTEBOOK: Delaney Smith, who has been rotating her players in and out of the first five games on a frequent basis in an effort to keep them as fresh as possible, said before last night's contest that she would also begin rotating her starters for at least the next few games...The Crimson has not beaten B.C. since 1978...The cagers next see action this weekend when they host the Harvard Invitational Tournament which will include Lehigh, Long Island, and TCU. The Crimson won last year's tourney.
