Minnesota captured an 80-60 victory over Boston College in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge game in Williams Arena on Thursday. The Golden Gophers, winners of eight straight games, are 8-1. Katie Ohm scored her third career high in as many games with 23 points, 21 of them coming off seven three-point field goals tying a Williams Arena single-game record.   The Gophers finished with four players in double figures. Ashley Ellis-Milan scored 16 points, while Brittany McCoy added 14 points and Jackie Voigt added 10, along with 10 rebounds for her first career double-double.   Boston College (5-2) shot out of the blocks early hitting on 13 of their first 19 field goal attempts to take 29-14 lead with 7:30 left in the first half. The Gophers finally settled into their defensive game plan late in the half and calmly chipped away at the Eagles' lead. Ohm hit a pair of three-pointers as the Gophers' closed the half with a 16-6 run to trim the deficit from 15 to five at intermission. Ohm had already scored 14 points by halftime.   Minnesota quickly established its rhythm in the second half. The Gophers tied the score at 39-39 at the 17:25 mark on a lay-in by Voigt off an assist by McCoy, one of seven on the night without a turnover.
