Preview: Virginia Women Set for ACC Opener at Boston College NEWTON, Mass. (Interstat) — The Virginia women’s basketball team looks to rebound from its first loss in nearly two weeks when it opens Atlantic Coast Conference play on the road Sunday against Boston College. The Cavaliers (6-3) visit the Eagles (4-7) at Silvio O. Conte Forum. Virginia had its four-game win streak snapped with a 68-81 loss at Vanderbilt on Wednesday. Boston College enters having lost four straight, including a 49-76 home defeat to Quinnipiac on Wednesday. Virginia’s offense runs through dynamic guard Kymora Johnson. The sophomore is averaging 20.2 points over her last five games, including a 22-point, 7-assist effort in the loss at Vanderbilt. She has scored 20 or more points in four of her last five outings. Boston College will counter with forward Ava McGee, who is coming off a 6-point, 7-rebound performance against Quinnipiac. McGee has been a consistent presence on the boards, grabbing eight rebounds in a loss to Murray State on Nov. 29. The Cavaliers have relied on a high-scoring attack, averaging 78.2 points in their six wins. In their three losses, that average drops to 68.7. Defense has been a persistent issue for the Eagles, who have allowed 76.3 points per game during their current skid. This matchup begins the conference slate for both teams. Virginia’s next game is at home against Howard on Dec. 10. Boston College hosts Bryant on Dec. 9 before its next ACC contest against North Carolina on Dec. 29. Sunday’s game tips off at 2 p.m. EST.
