No. 13/11 Maryland Women Hold Off Boston College
BOSTON (AP)-- Kristi Toliver scored 19 points with seven assists, picking up a loose ball and hitting a 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down in the final minute to lead No. 11 Maryland to an 85-81 victory over Boston College on Monday night.

Marissa Coleman added 23 points, seven rebounds, and five assists as Maryland (19-4, 7-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) won its third straight game.

Corey Rusin scored 21, Carolyn Swords added 19, and Jaclyn Thoman had 13 points and 10 assists for Boston College (17-7, 5-4 ACC). The Eagles, who hadn't lost consecutive games all season, have now dropped three in a row--all of them to ranked teams.

Boston College trailed 76-73, with the ball and just under three minutes left, when Mickel Picco pulled up for a foul line jumper that could have made it a one-point game. The shot hit the rim, Demauria Liles grabbed the rebound and at the other end took the feed under the basket for a layup that made it 78-73.
