BOSTON (AP) -- Jessalyn Deveny scored 16 of her 22 points in the

opening 9½ minutes Wednesday, helping 20th-ranked Boston College to

a 74-43 win over Quinnipiac.

Brooke Queenan scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds for

the Eagles (2-1) in their home opener. BC built a double-digit lead

in the first seven minutes and coasted to coach Cathy Inglese's

200th career win at Boston College.

Krystal Pressley led Quinnipiac (1-2) with 10 points.

Boston College, which trailed only in the opening minute, took a

3-2 lead on Deveny's jumper that triggered a 16-1 run over 6:02.

Deveny had 10 points in the spurt.

Following the quick start, the Eagles turned it into a rout by

outscoring Quinnipiac 24-7, building a 41-11 lead on Brooke

Queenan's layup with 2:35 left in the half. The Bobcats were held

to just two field goals in the opening 10½ minutes.

The Eagles, who outrebounded the much-smaller Bobcats 32-15 in

the first half, led 41-17 at intermission.

Boston College's biggest lead was 56-20 midway through the

second half.
