WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: BC Continues Skid At Virginia Tech

By: Johnny Carey

The Eagles traveled to Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Va. on Sunday, looking to snap a four-game losing streak against ACC foe Virginia Tech. In their only prior meeting against the Hokies this season, the Eagles emerged victorious with a victory in Chestnut Hill thanks in large part to superb performances by senior Kristen Doherty and sophomore Nicole Boudreau. Despite a strong effort by the Eagles, they were not able to complete the season sweep of the Hokies as they fell in a tightly contested game, 70-63 in overtime.

LTE: Criticism Of Leahy Is Unwarranted

By:

I read Adam DeMuro’s letter [Heights, Jan. 30] with a combination of surprise and disappointment. Some of his barbs, especially those directed at the way Jack Dunn has publicly expressed himself concerning the future of the Campus School, seem (to me, anyway) to have found their target with devastating accuracy. But I also know Fr. Bill Leahy. To borrow Adam’s use of caps: Fr. Leahy is NOT the sort of person who would lie about something like that.
