Boston College 2011-12 in Review, Part V: Women’s & Coed Sports

Sailing

We have two championship teams here at Boston College: men’s hockey and sailing. One gets a lot more play than the other, but the other certainly deserves its moment in the sun.

The Eagles are currently ranked 5th in the nation and why not, because they’ve gone pretty well just about everywhere they’ve shown up this season.

We definitely have not heard the last from them this year, however, because the national championships are in early June.

Women’s skiing

Seriously, someone tell me what’s going on for these ski teams. About all I can tell you definitively is that many of the headlines talk about the team “making progress,” so that should be enough to formulate an opinion. If any members of the team would like to fill us in on their season, please comment!

Women’s soccer

This is a good program and it had another good season, going 12-6-3 (6-4-0). Women’s soccer ended the regular season ranked but got knocked out early in the ACC Tournament. Something happens when they get to the big dance, however, and once again, the ladies streaked all the way to the sweet 16. Unfortunately, their year ended with a loss to Stanford.

Softball

Softball season just ended for the lady Eagles, and sadly, the results left something to be desired. BC went 23-30 (3-18), which clearly means that they did very well in non-conference play but very poorly inside the ACC.

Their last game of the year was on May 10, a 10-4 ACC Tournament loss to North Carolina.
