PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Alissa Murphy scored 18 of her 22 points in the second half to spark No. 20 Boston College to its school-record 12th straight victory, 71-58 over Providence on Saturday.
Cal Bouchard scored 15 points and Jamie Cournoyer added 14 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high seven blocked shots for the Eagles (16-3, 5-0 Big East).
Monika Roberts had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Friars (9-7, 4-3).
Providence, defeated a week earlier 75-52 by the Eagles, kept the game close in the first half.
Trailing 18-11, the Friars went on a 12-4 run to take their only lead of the game, 23-22. Roberts scored the final eight points of the run.
