Boston College 2011-12 in Review, Part IV: Other Men’s Sports
By Joe Micik
Golf
It just wasn’t a good year for the golf team, who for struggled for much of the season and only rarely came close to winning tournaments. Easily, their best performance of the year came in Bethany Beach, Delaware where they earned second place out of 11 teams at the George Washington Invitational.
Unfortunately, that was about as close as they came, capped off with an 11th-place finish at the ACC Tournament. Luke Feehan had the best individual performance in that championship, tied for 21st at +1.
Skiing
As it is every year, clear-cut information on the performance of our skiing team is hard to find. From January to March they competed, and aside from the fact that they did not win a national championship, there is not much other information readily available.
Soccer
Boston College men’s soccer had a middle-of-the-pack sort of season in the ACC, but still put together a 14-6-1 overall record, which was good enough to get them back in the NCAA Tournament in November. Part of their ability to qualify came from streaking all the way to the ACC Championship game before falling to North Carolina.
In that NCAA Tournament game, they lost to Rutgers in the first round on penalty kicks.
Kyle Bekker led the way in 2011 with 8 goals and 7 assists; Charlie Rugg had 8 goals and 5 assists.
