11-2 boston college on top of number 21 georgia tech, acc women's hoops. how about the play early for boston college. especially carolyn swords established themselves inside.

>> carolyn swords does a great job finding gaps in the defense, good recipient of nice passes. at the other end of the floor, "good position on the defense and turns and finds the ball. >> look at swords numbers against georgia tech now boston college has won those two games and she's averaged 15 points. she came into chestnut hill along with murphy, two big kids. when they named sylvia crawley head coach, both of those players were interested because crawley was a premier big player in the acc played professionally at every league there was. she has added finesse to both swords and murphy's game. can't underestimate having a coach like this who played at such a high level. teach them the tricks of the trade and finesse inside. >> you don't often find the coach that has the post experience crawley does. she knows what it's like to be

banged around on the inside knows what it's like to be fractures traited if you're not getting finessing, did get score. relay experience she's phenomenal. >> she may be the only division one coach that can dunk. >> yeah. one of the leaders in the whole dunking trend. she was a front-runner. >> murphy with a strong move couldn't finish. johnson, drive offensive and a good job defensively to take the charge by bridge it ar doughs. >> georgia tech came out of the time-out switching defense, they prefer man--to-man, a variety of ways, but generally drop back to that. making the adjustment in the time-out, ardossi deciding we've got to stop that interior, contest the outside but pack it

down. >> walthour kicks to foster, ardossi, thoman has it. like to see the run. thoman does that and scores in transition. they are a half-court team. eventually sylvia crawley wants to play uptempo a wmba type feel. >> her players are buying into that. this is the second year under crawley. not a lot initially but graduating implementing uptempo stool her playbook. thoman great speed, nice hesitation at the basketball by the defender. >> walthour at the bucket, she has four for georgia tech. a bad pass with a steal. montgomery walthour around ardossi screen. back in the ball game.

foster, miss matchmatch with thoman in terms of size. shot clock down. montgomery fires and just misses. ardossi continues to win the war on the board, stolen by ardossi. >> the defense brigitte ardossi staying with it on the rebound, able to take it away for boston college. nice job getting to the interior of the zone. that is exactly what georgia tech needs to do. whether or not post players, penetrating the gap. >> foster did a nice job on the rebound. her first bucket of the game, junior out of memphis, georgia tech finding their legs here at boston college. >> whenever georgia tech can score they can set up.

eagles. this is interesting. they are 10 and 7 but played the first three games without their point guard. jaclyn thoman was suspended for those games and they lost all three harvard rutgers and vermont. so a 10 and 7 record is a little bit deceiving. picco fires up a three and it stays with boston college. >> picco has the green light off the transition. she's open she's going to take it. georgia tech dodging a bullet not finding the transition enough to locate to her. going back to that situation i think it was a wakeup call especially for thoman. hey whatever it is your doing that's not correct, we're going to set down and take the lumps for the team and create team chemistry as well. everybody has to come together. everybody in it together. >> brown in the ball game and

she shoots all the way. nothing like a 15 foot turner with someone in your face. >> lot of confidence. most people coin, a pass or two, 0ñ]v5$ not ayala brown give me the ball, i'm t4cúúp"p"pe e dú@ú ú ú ú úa a!a!#/#/"+"+á @p#p =p=p)p+0ç0ç0[0[0s s s going to shoot it. >> eleven point lead for boston college. walthour working towards picco. >> defense for boston ry nb college effective in the early going of the game against georgia tech. they have not been able to find teams to the basketball. >> boston college 19-8 lead over number 21, georgia tech.

at the board, 14 and 5 advantage. this is a georgia tech team that is plus 10.5 in terms of rebounding margin. >> the reason that happened is two-fold. one tremendous size that the boston college players have. georgia tech is not physically finding someone to box out. you've got to make contact and move those white jerseys out of the space to rebound effectively especially on the defensive end. got to find the big girls, put a body on them and create the space in order to rebound. >> 70-66, boston college played well but lost a tight one at maryland after beating north carolina state quite handily to open their season. goodlett in transition. she runs the floor well. >> now we have an example of what georgia tech can do if they can get out and run getting a loose ball rebound, kick it out fast. i like the way sasha goodlett

ran the floor. got down there ahead of the pack. recipient of the led off pass and the layup. >> knocked out-of-bounds stays with boston college. >> it all keys on that rebound, pushing the ball down the floor, continuing to draw the defenders with the ball, nice jump off to goodlett. >> that was alex montgomery with the pass. she continues out there. montgomery, one of the best players in the acc. a knee injury knocked her out of the starting heinup. have that knee all summer long, into the fall. limited to 20 minutes a game. brown, that one nestles out and foul by picco on the reach. >> much better boxout by georgia tech exemplified by the ball hitting the floor. everybody froze. a little shot clock going off a

little rebound boxout. georgia tech having to address the rebounding issue is more focused on how to box out. >> georgia tech number 21 in the country. a lot of expectations after three consecutive ncaa trips. they are a relatively young team three sophomores including sasha goodlett who puts in her third bucket of the ballgame. she's got six and it's a nine-point lead. thoman a nice job of running. with the ball boston college. picco is a three-point threat. that a little strong and turnover for boston college. but a good start so far for sylvia crawley and the eagles. pdy? t it imater, re i
