The Orange started off the game on an 8-0 run, keeping Boston College scoreless for the first three minutes and 23 seconds of play. After a media timeout, Madeline Potts found a wide-open spot in the corner, adding three points to the board.

Izoje drew a foul, completing a three-point play and extending SU's lead to 23-13 to close out the first quarter.

Dominique Darius snuck a bounce pass in the paint to Potts, who did the same to find Izoje to finish the drive with a layup. Syracuse's defense kept Boston College without a field goal for four minutes and 38 seconds as Izoje collected two blocks in the quarter and Laila Phelia tallied a steal. Potts found Journey Thompson in the paint to add two more points to the board to give 'Cuse a 41-30 advantage entering the locker room.

In the opening drive of the second half, Darius knocked in her first shot from beyond the arc of the day. Phelia and Izoje blocked back-to-back shot attempts by Boston College, as Darius followed up with a steal in the Eagles' next possession. Shy Hawkins drew a technical foul on Boston College's Lily Carmody sending the Orange to the line for two shots. Phelia knocked in a three-pointer to the score as Izoje and Thompson followed with field goals to give the Orange a 20-point lead late in the third quarter. Potts hit a corner three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Orange a 70-48 lead heading into the final quarter of play.
