BC’s women’s lacrosse team made a San Diego stop on its SoCal tour yesterday, beating San Diego State, 19-8. Last Wednesday, the #2-ranked Eagles defeated #12 USC, 13-12, in overtime. The Eagles are 9-0.

Here’s a very brief snippet of action, featuring, in maroon, midfielder Brooke Troy (28) and attacker Captain Tess Daniels (5).

Several local alumni joined the significant number of BC parents, family, and friends rooting for the Eagles. Among the San Diego Eagles joining me at the game were Mary Farrell Berube ’80, Ray Berube ’78, Sarah Lowe Roughneen ’88, Greg Cortese JD’74, and Susan Fleck Gill ’88. A contingent from the girls’ lacrosse team at Cathedral Catholic High School (principal Kevin Calkins ’00) was also in attendance.

Saturday’s weather disrupted post-game plans for a meet-and-greet, but the team did pose with our chapter banner as an expression of appreciation for our support. They also enjoyed seeing the banner displayed on the sidelines of “enemy” territory.

In other BC winter sports action, the #4 women’s hockey team fell short of reaching its 6th Frozen Four in 8 years, losing to #6 Ohio State, 2-0, at home in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals. Freshman Daryl Watts is a top-3 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award, presented to the nation’s best women’s collegiate hockey player. And BC women’s lacrosse may be boosted the rest of the season by the possible return of hockey player Kenzie Kent, last year’s ACC female athlete of the year for her play on both the hockey and lacrosse teams.
