CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Kiara Lewis came off a Kamilla Cardoso ball screen at the top of the key and created separation from her defender, trying to hedge Cardoso’s roll to the basket that repeatedly punished Boston College in the first half.
The move gave SU’s All-ACC guard space to hoist a 3-pointer. She’d already done so 29 times this season, though she’d converted only five. Instead, Lewis found Emily Engstler on the wing. Right as the defense converged on the forward, she floated a pass to a now-wide open Cardoso in the paint for the easy finish.
