BC volleyball’s never made the NCAA Tournament—it’s Jason Kennedy’s job to get the Eagles there, and he’s already well on his way, having changed the culture in the Power Gym and led BC to its highest win total in 15 years during his first season at the helm.
The Eagles and new head coach Jason Lowe released their 2019 schedule on Wednesday, and it includes 11 tournament teams from a year ago as well as a three-game homestand to start the year.
After a sophomore season in which she was the Eagles’ third-leading scorer, Fusine Govaert was selected to the U.S. National team Monday for a pair of games of Germany in April.
After five years as Wake Forest’s associate head coach, Jason Lowe will attempt to keep BC on the right track after the winningest coach in program history, Alison Foley, suddenly resigned in December.
The Eagles finished under .500 for the fifth time in six years, and will lose Simon Enstrom—who finishes his career tied for second in program history with 31 goals—to graduation as they seek to reload before the 2019 season.
The Eagles, just a year removed from a seven-win season, easily surpassed that mark under new head coach Jason Kennedy and finished an even .500 on the year.
While the recent headlines have been around the departures of Alison Foley and Sam Coffey, the Eagles enjoyed a remarkably successful 2018 season and went to the NCAA Tournament.
2018 ACC Midfielder of the Year and Mac Hermann Trophy Finalist Sam Coffey announced on Twitter Tuesday afternoon that she’s transferring to Penn State to finish out her college career.
In 22 years with the Eagles, Foley piled up a program-best 280 wins and led BC to eight Sweet 16s, three Elite Eights, and the College Cup in 2010.
BC was just three points away from winning its third-straight game to end its season on a high note, but coughed up a two-point lead and went on to fall to the Tigers in five sets.
