Eagles in town

Posted on by

BC’s women’s lacrosse team made a San Diego stop on its SoCal tour yesterday, beating San Diego State, 19-8. Last Wednesday, the #2-ranked Eagles defeated #12 USC, 13-12, in overtime. The Eagles are 9-0.

Here’s a very brief snippet of action, featuring, in maroon, midfielder Brooke Troy (28) and attacker Captain Tess Daniels (5).

Several local alumni joined the significant number of BC parents, family, and friends rooting for the Eagles. Among the San Diego Eagles joining me at the game were Mary Farrell Berube ’80, Ray Berube ’78, Sarah Lowe Roughneen ’88, Greg Cortese JD’74, and Susan Fleck Gill ’88. A contingent from the girls’ lacrosse team at Cathedral Catholic High School (principal Kevin Calkins ’00) was also in attendance.

Saturday’s weather disrupted post-game plans for a meet-and-greet, but the team did pose with our chapter banner as an expression of appreciation for our support. They also enjoyed seeing the banner displayed on the sidelines of “enemy” territory.

In other BC winter sports action, the #4 women’s hockey team fell short of reaching its 6th Frozen Four in 8 years, losing to #6 Ohio State, 2-0, at home in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals. Freshman Daryl Watts is a top-3 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award, presented to the nation’s best women’s collegiate hockey player. And BC women’s lacrosse may be boosted the rest of the season by the possible return of hockey player Kenzie Kent, last year’s ACC female athlete of the year for her play on both the hockey and lacrosse teams.

Two dozen BC San Diego alumni, parents, and friends joined Terrence Devino, SJ, vice president and secretary of the University, for a book discussion in Del Mar Saturday, December 6. The group talked about The Circle, a novel by Dave Eggers, which was this year’s freshman class read at BC. The Circle chronicles the beginnings of a dystopian future brought about by increasing levels of digital connection, surveillance, and conformity.

Hosts for the event were Patty and Marc Brutten P’16, P’18. Accompanying Fr. Devino were Joy Moore ’81, H’10, associate vice president for alumni relations, and Marlo Tangredi MA’13, assistant director of alumni relations and liaison with the San Diego chapter.

Each year, under the auspices of the First Year Experience, incoming BC freshmen are tasked to read the same book. In the fall, the author of that book addresses the class in the First Year Academic Convocation, as Eggers did this year. Previous speakers at the convocation have included then-Senator Barack Obama (2005), Senator John McCain (2006), and Ann Patchett (2009).
