BC sweeps UMass, Women heading to Frozen Four and other links

BC is now headed to the Garden for the Hockey East Championships after sweeping UMass. BC's 3-2 win over the Minutemen was another tough effort, but BC did enough to win.


The Women's Ice Hockey team are headed to the Frozen Four again. While we are used to the men going every year, this is the first time the women have gone in back to back years. They earned their spot by beating St. Lawrence 6-3 on Saturday.


The Women's Lax team started their ACC schedule with a 17-10 win over Virginia Tech.


The softball team beat Providence 13-1. They will finish their final game of the FAU Embassy Suites Classic on Sunday against Minnesota.

Softball season ends in ACC Tourney and other links

A disappointing season came to a close today as the softball team lost to No. 1 seed Georgia Tech, 8-0 in the opener of the ACC Tournament. The team finishes the season with a 16-33 record.


I asked Bruce Feldman about BC's chances in his chat on Friday. He still thinks we are second tier.


The news that Miami and Notre Dame are renewing their series is bad for BC. It is one less open date for the Irish and another ACC team on their schedule. However, if Notre Dame stays independent, our chances of getting them back on the schedule improve. As an indy they won't be able to play any Big Ten or SEC teams late in the year. The ACC and BC would accommodate them and give them much needed October and November dates.


This has been around a bit, but I thought some might find the analysis interesting. I always put a lot of weight into returning starters, but this study shows it is not a significant factor.
