Baseball
This year certainly had its ups and downs for the members of the Club Baseball team. After a strong start to the year, one of their teammates and best friends, Woody Hubbell, was diagnosed with Leukemia. This devastating news was tough for the team to handle but resulted in playing for more than just wins and losses. Inspired by Woody's bravery and determination, the team rallied around him to fuel its first ever North Atlantic North Conference Title. The Eagles were able to seal the deal in the final two weekends of the season by taking two of three against UMass and sweeping Albany in dominant fashion. The Eagles finished their spring regular season 7-1 and the entire year with a 14-3 record. Cam Miller had a fantastic year, posting a 5-0 record in six games with an ERA of 0.587. Nick Assad had a phenomenal season as well, posting a 4-0 record with a 2.23 ERA. For the hitters, Austin Nardi had a breakout first season with the Eagles, posting a .458 average. Seasoned vets Collin O'Neill, Jack Patrina, and Daniel Lu also posted averages well over the .400 mark. In the post-season, the Eagles traveled to Philadelphia to compete in the North Atlantic Regional Tournament. They lost their opening game to #5 Penn State 1-4 and then came back to beat Slippery Rock 11-9, but then came up short, losing on a walk off in the semi-finals to #14 Drexel. The Eagles finished the weekend 1-2 but won their first ever regional playoff game, which was an exciting milestone. They were also able to host their first ever home game at the new Harrington Athletics Complex on the Brighton Campus. It was a great season for the Eagles overall, and they are looking forward to building off of it in seasons to come!

Men’s Basketball The Men's Club Basketball team finished the 20172018 season with an impressive record of 20-7. During their spring NCBBA league play, the team played multiple three game series against local opponents. Although the team fell to UMass-Lowell, they defeated Harvard at home and beat both Northeastern and Bowdoin on the road. The highlights of the year include winning the Regional tournament at Boston University in the fall, going undefeated in all five games, and finishing as the runner-up for the New England region of the NCBBA, after falling to Harvard in the finals. To wrap up their season, the team then traveled to The Ohio State University for the 2018 NIRSA National Tournament. Despite putting up a tough fight, they unfortunately did not advance out of pool play after two tough losses to Oregon and Notre Dame, respectively. The team graduates eight seniors this year, all of whom have been instrumental members of the team over the past four years as playmakers on the court and leaders off the court, and they will be dearly missed.

Women’s Basketball
Attended the 2018 NIRSA National Championship In Women’s Club Basketball’s fourth year of existence, the Eagles joined the NIRSA league for the first time and participated in the Northeastern region. This league allowed them to participate in two round-robin style tournaments which took place at UCONN and Providence. The team played in several home and away games against local teams throughout the fall and spring semesters, finishing third overall in the their league. The team also participated in the annual Boston University tournament in December finishing in third place. They continued their tradition of returning to Columbus, Ohio for the third year to participate in the NIRSA National Tournament. The team lost both of their pool play games by three points and one in overtime. Although the results may not be what they desired, the Eagles proved that they can compete against some of the best club teams in the nation and they look forward to seeing what next year’s team can accomplish with a new National Tournament site in Wichita, Kansas. The team remained active in the club sports world via Twitter as well in person, participating in several MATCH point opportunities. Following its first place finish in the MATCH program in the 2016-17 season, it continued its success story by finishing in third place in this year’s standings. Women’s Club Basketball sends off its seniors with the best of luck as its incredible alumni network continues to grow. The Eagles will be back, better than ever, and ready for another hardware season in the 2018-19 school year!

Coming off an extremely successful fall racing season, Men's Club Crew stepped on the gas this spring to keep the momentum going. The crew returned from their Spring Break New England training trip to Clemson University fielding a varsity squad four 8s deep, which has con- Championship: sistently improved over last years' results. Continuing a rigorous six-day-a-week practice V8: 2nd schedule, a long winter has paid dividends this racing season. The team recovered two im2V8: 4th portant duel cups, claiming the Sledgehammer back from URI in a program-wide sweep on 3V8: 1st, 6th the Charles in April. Two weeks later, the Eagles won back the McCarthy McGee Challenge Cup sweeping duels against WPI, UMass, and Coast Guard. The crew also attended ECAC NIRC the Kerr Cup in Philadelphia for the first time this April, posting impressive results in the Championship: V8, 2V8, and 3V8. In May, the team reclaimed the New England Championship Points V8: 4th 2V8: 3rd Trophy over all varsity and club teams in the New England region for the first time since 3V8: 2nd 2015. The Eagles continued their success at the ECAC/NIRC with a number of top finishes 1V4: 3rd and then traveled to Gainesville, GA for their biggest race of the year, the ACRA National 2V4: 10th Championship. They had an impressive showing, racing against the top club teams in the nation, which was highlighted by a 2nd place finished in the V8 & and 3rd place finish in the 2V8. Nathan Whitaker ’18 was named to the Northeast AllRegion Team while head coach, Alex Dillon, was named Northeast Coach of the Year. Though the team will be graduating a talented class of seniors this year, its future is bright with a number of proven young classes ready to try their chance against the best in the country for years to come.

Cycling
The Club Cycling team had a successful year of competition which saw growth and development on a number of fronts. During the fall, the mountain bike team placed very well in the highest categories of competition despite its small cohort, and provided momentum which carried the team through the winter into their primary (road racing) season in the spring. The team represented Boston College well in categories C, D, and E at the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference, scoring points in multiple races despite their membership size relative to other teams. They finished off the season at the ECCC Championships in April. The team saw an influx of new, younger riders and continued to show growth in its women's team, two factors which will bode well for performance in future seasons. Given the growth of the team in recent years as well as its encroachment into other disciplines of cycling, racers and casual riders alike are excited to begin another stage in the development of the team; the institution of a cyclo-cross racing and training season in the late fall. Overall, through weekly training rides and spin sessions, the team successfully continued its ultimate goal of furthering the culture of cycling for all interested in riding their bikes, and members are excited to begin practices, rides, and races again in a few months once they’re back on the heights.

Equestrian
The Club Equestrian Team finished its best season in recent program history by earning a very close third in the region for the 2017-2018 show season. The team practiced under the direction of their coach, Sheila Brady, once a week for eight weeks in small groups at their home barn, Hillside Meadows, in Grafton, Massachusetts. They wrapped up the last regular show season by winning High Point Team at the Worcester State University show on March 25th, thanks to strong rides from all of their team members, including five first-place rides. The following week, a point rider from each division represented BCET at their region’s point show. On March 31, the team had six riders compete in the IHSA Zone 4 Region 1 Finals. All of their riders performed exceptionally well in large classes against talented riders. Senior President and Co-Captain, Grace Tregidgo, placed third in Intermediate Flat; junior Secretary, Jennie Manning, placed sixth in Novice Fences; senior, Lily Nagengast, placed sixth in Walk/Trot/Canter while senior Co-Captain and Vice President, Gabby LoGiudice, placed seventh; seniors, Alyssa Bunim and John Hennig, placed first and third, respectively, in Walk/Trot. Alyssa Bunim qualified for Zone Finals and rode well in a competitive Walk/Trot class. Seniors Piper Benjamin and Grace Tregidgo finished the year as fourth and fifth, respectively, in the Cacchione Cup standings, in which the most advanced riders in the nation are eligible. BCET will miss their seven graduating seniors Grace, Gabby, Piper, Lily, Alyssa, John, and Katie tremendously, but are looking forward to improving on their success in the 2018-2019 season!
Finished 3rd at the IHSA Region 1 Finals 8
Figure Skating Club Figure Skating had a fantastic season. Taking a new approach with a far more dramatic program than previous seasons, the team was ready to prove that they could perform well with any style of music. Through increasing the levels of difficulty in their creative elements and musical interpretation, the team exceeded their own expectations and finished the spring semester strong. To start it all off, the Eagles returned to campus early for training week in January. Following training they flew to Florida for the Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships, the biggest competition of the competitive season. Combining on and off ice practices the team bonded and prepared for competition. They are incredibly proud of their 5th place finish in the Open Collegiate Division and enjoyed the added bonus of 70 degree weather in the middle of January. BCFS took the judges’ comments from the Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships and made some adjustments, coming back even stronger and defending their previous title, taking home gold from the Connecticut Synchronized Skating Classic. The team finished off the year with an exhibition in Conte Forum during the Shamrock Skate Event put on by CAB. This was a great event for team exposure and was an incredibly fun and upbeat way to send off the many amazing graduating seniors. The team can’t wait to see what next season brings, and looks forward to meeting new prospective skaters!

Golf Although Massachusetts has seen harsher winters, the timing of the winter storms this year were not conducive to the Club Golf team’s spring season as they hit right before both NCCGA regional tournaments. The first regional of the year was canceled and the second was postponed. Therefore, the team’s spring season was cut short. However, as the weather warmed up late in the semester, they were able to get out and start playing together as a team. They had weekly practices at Newton Commonwealth Golf Course. As the weather continues to get warmer, they expect all of their players to hit the links throughout the summer while they are in the offseason to prepare for next year. They have high expectations for the fall with goals of winning both regional tournaments and advancing to the NCCGA National Championship, where they have their eyes set on the price. Sadly, they will be graduating a group of great seniors this year. As much as they hate to see them go, the team looks forward to getting their younger athletes some experience in the fall as well as bringing on some new players from the incoming Freshman class. The team would like to thank their seniors for their consistent leadership throughout the year, and they wish them the best of luck in the years to come. 10
Women’s Ice Hockey
During their season, Women’s Club Ice Hockey had an overall record of 18-4 -2. The team played new competition such as The University of Vermont and Overall Record: 18-4-2 Bishop's University. Additionally, they played many familiar foes from the IWCHL Playoff Record: 2-0-0 IWCHL league such as BU, UNH, and St. Anselm in addition to non-league teams such as Northeastern. After an undefeated second semester, they ex- Nationals Record: 2-0-1 tended their winning streak at the IWCHL playoffs, winning the Championship for the second year in a row. The team received an automatic bid to the ACHA National Tournament in Columbus, Ohio and attended for the second year in a row. After an eventful journey by coach bus to get there due to a snowstorm preventing them from flying out, the ladies had their best performance at Nationals ever. The Eagles beat Liberty 4-3 in overtime, Montclair State 11-1, and tied Lakehead 5-5. Unfortunately, due to tie breaking procedures in the tournament, the team did not move on to the next round. The team did however get their first win at a National Tournament and had their strongest showing to date. In addition to working hard on the ice, the ladies also volunteered every Saturday helping teach kids in the Belmont Youth Hockey Program to skate. The team is looking forward to another exciting season in the IWCHL and ACHA for 2018-2019, and they are looking to build upon their successful past few seasons and get another bid to Nationals, which will be held in Texas next year.

The Women’s Club Lacrosse team has had an immensely successful season this spring. They finished with a regular season record of 12-2 and finished the year with a final record of 16-3. The team had the opportunity to travel to Pittsburgh in mid-March to compete against top-ranked national talent. The Eagles won two of their 4 games in Pittsburgh, falling to Penn State and #4 ranked Pittsburgh at their home field. The team then traveled to Boulder over Easter weekend, where they went undefeated at the Mile High Invitational. They won all 4 games, downing #3 Brigham Young, Utah State, Utah, and Denver. Locally, the Eagles also went undefeated in the New England Women’s Club Lacrosse League. In their Senior Day game, hosted on campus, the Eagles triumphed over the University of Connecticut after a close, hard fought game. The following weekend, they clinched the league championship title with a decisive 15-6 victory over the same UConn team. Winning the League Championship secured the Eagles a bid to the Women’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association National Tournament as the number 6 seed. The tournament was held in Round Rock, Texas. The team started off the tournament with a disappointing loss to San Diego State University. However, they made the most of their next 3 games, earning victories over Penn State, UCLA, and Cal Poly, earning an overall 9th place finish in the country. They are appreciative for all of the support this year and look forward to another successful season next year!

Men’s Rugby During the spring of 2018, the Men’s Rugby Club fielded both a 7’s and 15’s team. The 15's team played a regional schedule consisting of teams such as UMass Amherst and Harvard before traveling to Providence, Rhode Island to compete in the "Beast of the East" tournament, the largest collegiate rugby event in the country. Here, the team battled valiantly and gained valuable experience in the process. The 7’s team had the opportunity to play in a number of high-profile tournaments across the country. The team’s season began in April with a tournament at Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York. The following weekend, the team traveled up to the University of New Hampshire for the Scott Milley Memorial 7’s Tournament, where they played well and began to gear up for the biggest tournament of the semester, the Jesuit Cup at Santa Clara University in California. Here, the team played against some of the top Jesuit rugby teams in the country and developed well as a unit. This experience should prove useful in June, where the team will wrap up its season play at the Collegiate Rugby Championships in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where they will compete with top-flight competition from all over the country. Towards the end of the spring semester, both the Men’s and Women’s Rugby Clubs celebrated their 50th anniversary by hosting a networking panel, team mass, and alumni game that welcomed back alumni from the past five decades for the celebrations. The great turnout by the alumni was a testament to the sense of community and pride that comes with being a rugby player at Boston College.

50th Anniversary of Rugby at Boston College Attended 2018 Collegiate Rugby Championship 14
Women’s Rugby
This spring was a very formative season for the Women’s Rugby Club. With a shift to an underclassmen heavy roster and newly elected officers, team members were challenged to step up to new leadership roles. In the team’s first match of the season, the Eagles lost a well played scrimmage against UMass Dartmouth 8-20. The team would go on to compete in the Beast of the East, one of the largest collegiate rugby tournaments in the world. In the first game, they lost a hard fought match to Vassar College but then came back to win the second match against Buffalo State. Even though the game ended in a tie 17-17, the win was given to the Eagles because they had scored the first try. They then lost their final game to UConn on the last day of the tournament, finishing in fourth. In addition to these competitions, the Women’s Rugby Club celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Rugby at Boston College along with the men’s program. Rugby began on the heights with the creation of the Men’s Rugby Club in 1968 and the Women’s Rugby Club in 1979. Kenneth Daly, founding coach of Men’s and Women’s Rugby and current head coach of Women’s Rugby, was honored for his dedication to both programs, having coached 118 seasons thus far. Alumni from both teams traveled back to Boston College the weekend of April 27 to celebrate the 50th anniversary. On Friday, there was an Alumni Career Panel and Networking Session for current students to hear about the experiences of rugby alumni after graduation. On Saturday, there was a Women’s Rugby Brunch that brought together generations of female players, followed by an Alumni Game. The weekend concluded with a 50th Anniversary Gala Celebration at the Boston College Club. The current BCWRFC team is extremely proud to have been part of such an exciting weekend and is looking forward to the fall season.

Men’s Squash
Finished 2nd in the Sereus Cup (F Division) at the 2018 CSA National Championship The Men’s Club Squash Team had a fantastic 2017-2018 season. After losing six members of the team from last year, fall recruiting was crucial to the season’s success. Luckily the team was able to recruit the talents of Domino Sayegh ’21, Dan Cunningham ‘18, David Young ’20, Duncan Parrot ’18, Matt Bell ’19, Mattieu Tapolski ’20, Mike Haley ’21, and Will Torsiglieri ’18. This season was dominated by the team’s intense BU rivalry. After a tough 4-5 loss to BU in their first match of the season, the team knew they had to up the ante. However, despite their renewed commitment to the sport, the team was once again brought to defeat by BU mid-way through the season with another 4-5 loss. This was a pivotal moment in the season, a point at which the team was forced to either give up or double down. At the end of the season, the team came face-to-face with BU once more during nationals. Before the match, the team received a stunning pep talk from captains Murphey Harmon ’18 and Tyler O’Neill ’18 explaining that if the team maintained composure and played with integrity, there was nothing that BU could take from them. With a renewed energy and confidence, they took the court and pulled out a huge 7-2 win against BU. The team is grateful for how far they’ve come as a team and are excited for the upcoming season. 16
Women’s Squash The Women’s Club Squash Team started the season by welcoming seven new players to the team and trained in anticipation of a full and successful season. Throughout the season, the ladies competed frequently in many local matches and tournaments as well as two tournaments away at UVA and Haverford against both club and varsity opponents. They faced strong competitors and were nearly undefeated against other club programs. After playing in seven matches in the first semester and nine in the second, the team ended their season with an impressive 11-5 record in the regular season. Though the team was unfortunately unable to attend nationals last season, which placed them lower in the national rankings initially, they were still able to compete this season at the 2017-2018 CSA Nationals held at Harvard University. After playing some strong competitors throughout the weekend, the team was proud to announce that they placed second in the E Division, ranking them as the 34th best team in the nation. Going forward, the team is planning to use this season as good momentum to help them continue to progress as a team and move up to the D Division for the 2018-2019 season and excel there as well. The team had a fantastic season and is excited to improve further and do even better in years to come.

Men’s Ultimate Frisbee
Men's Club Ultimate Frisbee competed in four tournaments this spring season: the Stanford Open, the New England Open, Metro Boston Sectionals, and New England Regionals. The team competed and fought hard in each of these tournaments, forcing at least one game per tournament to go right down to the wire in nail-biting fashion. Learning how to play as a team with the twelve rookies who made the team earlier in the fall and dealing with injuries were challenges the team learned to overcome as the season progressed. In their first tournament of the semester, they traveled out to California to face some tough competition at the Stanford open where they finished 3-4 on the weekend. It all seemed to come together during the highlight of the season at Sectionals when the team made up for its tough losses on Saturday by winning both of their games on Sunday to qualify for Regionals. The team placed 5th overall in the Section and 10th overall in the Region. With only six graduating seniors on the team this past season, Men's Club Ultimate Frisbee is ready to come back firing during the fall semester of the 2018-2019 season. The team would like to give special recognition to seniors Martin Barylak, Zac Basile, Andrew Cirillo, Tucker Charette, Drew Davis (Captain), and Nick Porter (Captain) for what they each have meant to the program as a whole over their four years of playing and representing Men's Club Ultimate Frisbee.

Women’s Ultimate Frisbee Women’s Club Ultimate Frisbee closed out the spring semester with another successful regular season of play. The Eagles transitioned from the developmental season in the fall to a competitive, yet fun season for both A and B teams. The team traveled between the Newton Field Hockey Field and Alumni Stadium for practice multiple days a week to build on the fundamentals that they practiced in the fall. The women utilized these fine-tuned skills to work on game scenarios, building plays, movement on the field, and maintaining team chemistry. The Flix used this momentum to perform at many high level tournaments across the country. In February, both A and B teams traveled together to the Bring the Huckus tournament in New Jersey. The A team secured some big wins at this tournament, finishing 4-0. This motivated the squad while facing some of the best teams in the country at the Northwest Challenge in Seattle, Washington, Sectionals at MIT, and Regionals in Northampton, MA. Overall, the team finished 7th in the region, with an 8-13 finish. Similarly, the B team continued their regular season with a tournament at Wellesley College, a scrimmage against Harvard, and Sectionals at URI, with a 7-8 finish. Overall, it was a great season for all with a combination of wins, losses, and team bonding. The Flix will miss their current seniors, but are looking forward to a new season in the Fall!

Men’s Volleyball
Season Highlights: Undefeated in League Play (21-0) 2018 NECVL D1 Regional Champions
The Men’s Club Volleyball Team had one of its best seasons in recent history. After an active first semester with visits to UCLA and the University of New Haven for pre-season tournaments, the team got under way with multiple trips to the University of New Hampshire to start regional play. The men were able to sweep their competition during these visits and held strong at their only home tournament of the year to cap off an impressive undefeated regular season, in which they did not lose a set. The team refused to slow down going into the NECVL D1 Regional Championships at the University of New Hampshire the weekend of April 6-8. The top seed in the tournament, the team went on to beat an undefeated UConn club in the semifinals before sweeping UMass-Amherst to win the title. As a result, the team locked up a spot in the D1A Division at the National Tournament in St. Louis with a 21-0 regional record that saw starters and backups alike getting significant playing time. The men had a short turn around after Regionals and departed campus the morning of April 11th for St. Louis. There, the team beat top 10 ranked teams Arizona State and Liberty University, and the team ended the week strong with a sweep of UC Santa Barbara to win the Silver Consolation bracket. The team finished 25th in the country, which secures them a national ranking at the beginning of next year. This placement is the team’s best finish since 2010, and they want to give a special thanks to senior standouts Joel Kitchen, Ryan Morrissey, and Brian Kelly. The upperclassmen led the squad with a dynamic offensive attack that kept other schools on their heels all season, and their leadership on and off the court pushed the team to be as successful as possible.
Finished 25th at the 2018 NCVF National Championships 20
Women’s Volleyball This spring semester was the strongest one the Women’s Club Volleyball Team has ever seen before. At the first regular season tournament in January, the Eagles competed at UConn and made it to the championship game, defeating Northeastern 25-22 and 25-22. In February, they went entirely undefeated at UNH and beat Dartmouth in the finals, winning 30-27. Making it a three-peat, BC won their third tournament of the semester with a win against the home team, Northeastern, with scores of 25-21 and 25-17. To wrap up the regular season, BC hosted a home tournament on St. Patrick’s Day. With wins against UNH, Cornell, Northeastern, BU, RPI, and Brown, the Eagles took first place yet again. The Eagles’ hard work during their regular season gave them a #1 ranking in the region and a spot at Regionals with the other top eight regional teams. This was BCWCVB’s first time attending Regionals and while they were short on players due to Easter break, the squad of five players managed to give every team a run for its money. Feeling fired up after a hot season, the team headed to St. Louis, Missouri in April for Nationals, ready to compete against the top teams in the country in the top division for the first time in team history. The Eagles’ relentless competitive play and spirited teamwork earned them a final ranking of 9th in the country. In addition to these successes on the court, the team has supported its fellow club sport teams through the MATCH Program, attended the AMDG Lecture with Patrick Downes, survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing, and participated in the First Annual Campus School 5K together. The team is proud of its accomplishments throughout the year and is looking forward to continuing to outperform itself in years to come!

Women’s Water Polo
Undefeated in League Play: 11-0 Record CWPA All-Tournament Team:
Heather Clark ’19 CWPA Nationals Player of the Game vs Texas A & M: Annie Ward ‘21
This season was expected to be a rebuilding year for Women’s Club Water Polo. After coming in third in their league last season, the Eagles lost six players to graduation and three to study abroad, leaving only six returning players on the roster. Of the fourteen players on this year’s roster, eight had never played water polo before coming to Boston College. Despite having the odds seemingly stacked against them, the Eagles headed into May undefeated, having won all of their New England League games by at least 5 points, finishing the season 11-0. BC faced BU in the New England Championship game with a 9-4 victory, winning their first Regional Championship since 2010, and advancing to Nationals in Gresham, Oregon. At Nationals, the Eagles battled many teams in order to earn 8th place in the nation. In the history of the Eagles’ program, the team has confirmed its all-time best finish at the 2018 Women’s National Collegiate Club Championship, as BC previously tied for 13th place with the University of Washington in 2008 at Mt. Hood. With only one person graduating this spring and leaving the team, the team is looking even stronger and better for next season. The team is only going to get better.

Shea has served as the President of the Women's Basketball team the last 2 years and has been instrumental in ensuring that her team was positioned for success. Over the past 4 years, she has been a major contributor to her team both on and off the court, which has included helping the team take off as a new club in 2014 as well as establishing the team as a fierce competitor in regional & national tournaments. She is not only a phenomenal leader, but she is also an outstanding basketball player who is tenacious on defense and threatening in the three point zone on offense.
Trevor is a 4-year member of the Men's Water Polo team who served as an officer the last 2 years, including team president this year. As one of the team's goalies, Trevor helped his team win back to back New England Conference Championships, holding rival BU to 2 goals in the championship game, and led a goalie group that averaged only 4.88 goals against in league play. He has been a fantastic mentor to his teammates and has worked relentlessly both in and out of the pool to ensure the year ran smoothly. 25
