An NCAA Tournament berth was no sure thing this year for Boston College, but the Eagles strong strength of schedule helped the program land its 11th consecutive and 17th overall NCAA Tournament appearance. Boston College has been to eight Sweet 16's, two Elite Eight's and the 2010 College Cup.
BC is one of eight (!) ACC teams to earn a bid to this year's tournament. Virginia (20-1-0), North Carolina (17-4-0), Virginia Tech (16-4-2) and Florida State (18-1-3) are all No. 1 seeds in the tournament. The other four ACC teams in the tournament are BC, Notre Dame (11-7-1), Duke (8-8-4) and Wake Forest (10-6-2).
If you are in town for this weekend's Boston College-N.C. State football game, I hope you consider heading on our to Newton Campus to support the women's team. Go Eagles!
