Date/Time: Mar. 5, 1:00 p.m. ET
TV: ACC Network
Syracuse came out of the gates roaring, outscoring Boston College by 13 in the first quarter, and taking a 17-point lead into halftime.

In the end, Boston College completed their monster comeback, notching a three-point win behind Dontavia Waggoner and her career-high 32 points. They’ll now advance to face North Carolina in Game 4 on Thursday, as the Tar Heels will be fresh and hoping to keep their tremendous season rolling, as they’re 25-6 on the season, but they’ve fallen in their last two contests.
Game 2: 10 Virginia def. 15 Pittsburgh, 64-50
Date/Time: Mar. 5, 3:30 p.m. ET
TV: ACC Network
There was little drama in the second game of the day, as Virginia controlled the matchup against Pittsburgh virtually from start to finish. It was never particularly close in the fourth quarter, with the Cavaliers protecting a double-digit lead.
In terms of scoring, it was a well-rounded effort for Virginia. Four different players finished the game in double-figures scoring: Kymora Johnson (17 points), Breona Hurd (15), Latasha Lattimore (12) and Paris Clark (11). Now it’s win and advance for the Cavaliers.
Game 3: 14 Clemson def. No. 11 Stanford, 63-46

TV: ACC Network
Clemson really managed to pull away in the third quarter in this one, after they outscored Stanford 21-14 in the third period.

Mia Moore also chipped in 14 points and four rebounds for the Tigers. Clemson had three players in double figures (Anya Poole, Mia Moore, and Loyal McQueen).

TV: ACC Network
North Carolina ran out of the gates with an 11-0 run to start the game, taking early command of the contest. The Tar Heels maintained that position until the Eagles hit a flurry of 3-pointers, including a game-tying one just before the third quarter ended. The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth affair.
After Boston College took a six-point lead in the final frame, North Carolina used a 12-0 run to claw its way back in front. It would hold on from there. The Tar Heels were led in scoring by Lexi Donarski‘s 20-point outing.
Game 5: 9 Georgia Tech def. 8 Virginia Tech, 72-57
Date/Time: Mar. 6, 1:30 p.m. ET
TV: ACC Network
Georgia Tech took control early in the contest against Virginia Tech, operating its offense cleanly and efficiently. A 17-0 run in the fourth quarter allowed the Yellow Jackets to put the game away for good.
One of the big factors in the game was Georgia Tech’s defense on Virginia Tech leading scorer Carleigh Wenzel. Wenzel was held to a season low two points on just 1-of-14 shooting. Hard to win with your best weapon completely neutralized.

TV: ACC Network
California cruised to an easy win over Virginia on Thursday, 75-58. With the win, they advance to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals on Friday. In their regular season matchup, Notre Dame won in blowout fashion 91-52.
