BC women's soccer's grueling, three-game gauntlet to start the season - Stanford, BU, UConn - did not treat them well, as the Eagles fell 1-0 to the Huskies last night in Newton. BC looks to bounce back on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Hofstra.
In semi-related news, the BC men's soccer team starts its season tomorrow night at BU (5 PM).
