Boston College and the ACC announced BC's 2016-17 women's basketball schedule yesterday evening. The Eagles will look to improve on last season's 15-16 record. The Eagles started off the season strong, but ended on a losing streak. They also struggled in the ACC, going 2-14 in conference play. In addition to returning stars like Mariella Fasoula and Kelly Hughes, Eagles fans should look forward to watching incoming 3-star recruit Jasmine Taylor.
The Eagles will start their season in Connecticut on November 11, when they take on Hartford. BC's home opener will take place two days later on Monday, November 14. The Eagles open their home schedule against BU. BC's first ACC game doesn't come until January 2, when they face Clemson at home.
Other important games include the University of Colorado Tournament (Nov. 25 and 26) and the ACC/Big 10 Challenge (at Conte vs. Penn State, Nov. 30 at 7 PM). Similarly to last season, the Eagles have a lighter start to the season and see heavy ACC play during second semester.
