BOSTON COLLEGE 50, Auburn 49 - Freshmen Olivier Hanlan and
Joe Rahon combined for 34 points to lead Boston College to a 50-49 win against
Auburn on Wednesday evening at Conte Forum.
Hanlan led the Eagles with 19 points, and added six rebounds
and two steals. Rahon recorded 15 points. Sophomore Ryan Anderson led BC on the
glass with seven rebounds while sophomores Patrick Heckmann and Lonnie Jackson
both had three assists.
The first half was tight the entire 20 minutes as there was
no lead larger than four points. Auburn took an early 6-3 lead three minutes
into the game but Hanlan ended that quickly with a 3-pointer to knot it up for
the first time. After a couple of lead changes, the Tigers led 19-17 with 7:29
on the clock. Hanlan hit a jumper and Rahon sank a three to give BC a 22-19
lead at the 5:50 mark. Recap.

Snaer scored 17 of his 21 points in the second period as the Seminoles (4-1)
won their fourth consecutive game. The 'Noles will now prepare to face

slip to a 32-24 score at halftime. Then midway through the second half, FSU had
its biggest lead of the night - a 14-point advantage - but UNF's timely triples
from long range kept the game within two possessions throughout much of the
contest. Recap.

Charles Mitchell scored 12 and Dez Wells added 11 for the Terrapins (3-1), who
have won three in a row following a season-opening loss to defending national
champion Kentucky.

rebounding advantage and scored 50 points in the paint, but Lafayette stayed
relatively close by going 15 for 32 from 3-point range.

Ptasinski had 14. Sophomore Dan Trist missed a third straight game with a
sprained left ankle after scoring a career-high 30 in Lafayette's overtime win
over LIU-Brooklyn. Recap.
