Stanford Can’t Stop Boston College Rally

Aja Parham had all 15 of her points and all seven of her rebounds in the second half, and No. 24-ranked Boston College rallied to defeat No. 14 Stanford, 77-69, Wednesday at Boston.

Brooke Queenan, who had 16 points in the first half, was seven for eight from the free-throw line in the last 7 minutes 54 seconds to finish with 23 points.

With the Eagles (11-2) leading by three points, Queenan made two free throws with 55 seconds left and Parham secured the victory with two free throws with 34 seconds to go.

The Eagles, who won their fifth consecutive game, trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half.

Candice Wiggins scored 20 points for the Cardinal (6-4), which led, 47-33, with 18:46 left but scored only four points over the next 7 1/2 minutes.

Boston College started a 16-4 run with a 6-0 spurt and scored eight consecutive points to cut the deficit to 51-49 with 11:19 remaining.
