Good morning, and happy Monday. It was not a very good Sunday in Boston College athletics. The basketball team did a thing, so you know it wasn't very good. The women's hockey team inexplicably lost to BU in the Hockey East championship game after going 4-0 against the Terriers during the regular season; assuming I can get Grant down from the ledge, he'll have your post-mortems and a preview of the NCAA Tournament matchup with Clarkson, set for Saturday at 4 PM. The baseball team lost another against Miami, and the men's hockey playoffs shook out such that it'll be BC vs. Notre Dame again this weekend.
Let's start the links with the one bright spot of the day.
Softball Finishes 5-0 at USF Tournament (BCEagles.com)
The Boston College softball team finished with a perfect 5-0 record at the USF Series Tournament with a 4-3 victory in its final game of the weekend against Northwestern Sunday morning. The Eagles were led by Nicole D'Argento in the circle, who pitched a complete game and struck out nine batters through seven innings while only allowing three runs on eight hits.
Well, there's a pleasant surprise. With the five wins on the weekend, the Eagles are now 14-7 on the year. Look out below, though; the rest of the links are going to be a bumpy ride.
