Boston College field hockey opens up its regular season this afternoon in Hamden, CT when they take on the Quinnipiac Bobcats at 1 PM.
The Eagles come in to the season ranked #8 in the country... though this ranking has them #7 out of 7 teams in the ACC... because ACC. Last year, BC went 1-5 in ACC play, but their 13-9 overall record was good enough to make the NCAA tournament. BC topped Albany in the first round before bowing out to UConn in the Elite Eight.
Emily McCoy, a star on last year’s team, is back for her senior year, and was named preseason all-ACC.
