WEEKEND in REVIEW!

The Eagles made their fall debut last weekend kicking off the fall season with an Alumnae Game and reception on Saturday and a big tournament at Harvard on Sunday!

Alumnae Game & Reception

We welcomed back nine Alumnae from 1985-2008! Noreen Craine '85, Christy Plotner '99, Jaime Baldante McCarthy '00, Honor Crowther Fagan '01, Brooke Wilson '06, Brennan Joyce '07, Elizabeth Kadison '06 (G '07), Shauna Culhane '08, and Courtney Zwirko '08 were all in attendence. We mixed the teams and played two halves of GREAT lacrosse! Highlights included seeing Courtney Zwirko play the field after four years of protecting the goal, Elizabeth Kadison doing her signature crease rolls, and Brennan Joyce continually keeping all of us in hysterics. Additionally, it was great to have Judith Theriault, our Friends of Jaclyn honorary teammate, cheering us on and taking the draw at various points throughout the game!

A HUGE thank you goes to Jaime McCarthy for all of her hard work in pulling together this alumnae game...one which we hope is the first of many more to come! Both Honor Fagan and Noreen Craine brought their children with them which was an added bonus for all of us - making it a family affair!

After the game, the 2009 team, along with some parents and the alumnae, joined together for a gathering at Union St in Newton Centre. It was great having everyone in one place and was a chance for many to reconnect. Hopefully these games and gatherings will become larger and larger with each passing year.

THANKS TO ALL THE ALUMNAE for joining us on Saturday!

Tournament at Harvard

The 2009 squad then kicked off its fall competition at Harvard on Sunday, competing against the Canadian National Team, Stanford, Boston University, and Albany. Many parents were there to cheer us on as usual...and keep us well fed! The Eagles kept focused throughout the long day, and made important strides from game to game. Each team was strong competition for BC and gave all of us a good sense of where we stand at this point in the fall season. The seniors, Lauren Fitzpatrick, Emily Hannigan, Maura Mahoney, Jenna McCabe, Katie Monaghan, Margot Spatola, and Rachel Tinquist, did an exceptional job of keeping the entire team focused on the day's goals and setting the standard for hustle all over the field. There is no doubt we are off to a great start for 2009, and everyone is looking forward to the next tournament at UNH on October 19th. We hope to see you there!

Keep up the great work, Eagles!
