Jan. 8, 2009 ATLANTA -- Mickel Picco scored on a driving layup with less than 1 second left in overtime to give Boston College a 65-64 victory against No. 22 Georgia Tech in the teams' Atlantic Coast Conference opener Thursday night. Georgia Tech (12-3) had gone ahead on a basket by Jacqua Williams with 3.4 seconds remaining. However, Picco, who had 14 points, got loose downcourt for a long pass and scored just before the buzzer. Carolyn Swords had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Boston College (12-3) and Stefanie Murphy added 17 points and 11 rebounds. Former North Carolina standout Sylvia Crawley won her first conference game as an ACC coach. Alex Montgomery had 22 points and nine rebounds to lead Georgia Tech, which had its eight-game winning streak snapped. BC led by six points with 3:22 left in the second half, but went scoreless the rest of regulation. Foster tied the score at 55, hitting a pair of free throws with 27 second left after the Eagles missed the front end of two successive 1-and-1 opportunities. |
