While Boston College fans await Friday night's unveiling of their 2017 football team, fall sports romped with a flourish last weekend. Men's soccer dominated both Quinnipiac and Boston University. Field hockey owned Newton Campus on Friday against Quinnipiac, then traveled to Albany for a double-overtime win against a ranked Albany team. Women's soccer thumped Colgate, and volleyball picked up its first win with a 3-1 victory over Alabama-Birmingham.
The wins didn't go unnoticed. Field hockey moved up to 12th nationally with their win over the Great Danes, one of seven ACC programs ranked within the top 15. They sit just seven points behind Michigan for 11th, and BC is less than 100 points behind Virginia and Louisville, both of whom earned one first place vote.
