NC State plays its final conference road game of the season Thursday at Boston College at 7 p.m., at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

Earlier this season in Raleigh, NC State came away with a dominating 80-57 victory over the Eagles on Jan 12 at Reynolds Coliseum. Marissa Kastanek scored a game-high 21 points, while senior Bonae Holston had a monster evening with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Freshman guard Krystal Barrett added 12 points off the bench.

The Wolfpack has won three in a row overall against BC, and is 5-1 in the last six meetings. However, State has dropped its last four games at Conte Forum, and has not won in Chestnut Hill since the 2006-07 campaign.

Thursday will be Holston's 10th career game against the Eagles, and she has averaged 14.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Sunday will complete the regular season schedule against No. 6 Maryland at 2 p.m., from Reynolds Coliseum. The Wolfpack will honor its seniors before the game with a brief ceremony.
