Ernest Shelton scored 17 points and freshman Zak Smrekar recorded his first career double-double to lead Boston College to a 67-55 victory over New Hampshire.

The Eagles improved to 4-0 on the season, according to Yahoo Sports.

Shelton provided a spark early, netting 14 of his points during the first half.

He finished the contest shooting 6 of 10 from the field, including 5 of 9 from beyond the arc.

Smrekar contributed 15 points and 11 rebounds in the winning effort, as noted by the Associated Press reporting.

Boston College played without star guard Money Williams, who was sidelined due to an injury sustained during a game against UMES last Tuesday.

New Hampshire started the game strong with a 13-2 run, but the Eagles responded with a 15-3 scoring surge to take control.

Boston College secured its first lead at 17-16 with 8:13 remaining in the first half.

The Eagles carried a 31-28 lead into the intermission.

Following the break, Boston College maintained its momentum and never trailed during the second half.

The team extended its advantage to double digits following a jumper by reserve Jacob Furphy with 14:13 left on the clock.

Armoni Zeigler also provided a balanced performance for the Eagles, finishing with 14 points, six rebounds, and six assists.

Furphy added 10 points for the home team.

Despite the loss, Drew McKenna paced the Wildcats with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Both teams struggled with shooting efficiency, as neither side managed to convert at a rate higher than 40 percent from the floor.

The Eagles established a significant edge in the paint, outscoring the Wildcats 32-22 in that area.

Looking ahead, New Hampshire is scheduled to face Stonehill on Wednesday.

Boston College will travel to face Harvard on the same day.

The Eagles continue their campaign seeking to maintain their perfect record, per the latest game coverage.
