The Boston College Eagle Log: Really?

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Really?

The BC men's soccer team lost to Providence yesterday, 1-0. This is quite a surprise. Hopefully they bounce back this weekend, as they take on Villanova and St. John's at the Adidas-Brown Classic in Providence.

The women's basketball team announced their schedule for 2008-2009.

On tap this weekend:

The men's soccer and women's volleyball teams both will participate in tournaments in Rhode Island this weekend, with the volleyballers in Kingston and the men's soccer team in Providence.

Women's soccer has two home games: Friday night at 5 PM vs. Brown, and Sunday afternoon at 1 vs. Toledo.

Field hockey has a pair of road games - at Quinnipiac Friday at 4, and at Holy Cross Sunday at 12.

Also, there's a football game. :)
