Good morning BCFC fans! We have some very exciting news!
This past weekend, the Lads travelled down to Delaware to compete in the NIRSA Regional Tournament. This tournament pitted the top teams in the region (composed of teams from New England and the Mid-Atlantinc) against each other in a two-day tournament. After going undefeated in the regular season and winning the Division Title for the second year in a row, BCFC was ranked #2 in the entire region. Our group consisted of Syracuse, Drexel, and University of Vermont, three highly competitive teams. The Lads rolled through the group stage, winning all three of their games. We then played Northeastern in the Quarterfinal game. With the rain pouring down and the pitch rendered into a mud bath, the boys fought hard, winning 2-1. We progressed into the final game, beating UConn in a PK thriller, becoming Regional Champions for the first time in a decade.
This unbelievable performance (winning 5 games in the span of two days) earned the Eagles a ticket to the National Tournament in Phoenix, AZ. The National Tournament will see BC (with an undergraduate population of less than 10,000) go up against the top club soccer teams in the nation, from schools like the University of Florida, Ohio State, and UC San Diego. This trip will give us the opportunity to earn the title of National Champions, and we can't wait to share our progress with you.
However, like all things in life, the trip is not free. While we do receive funding from the University, it is not enough to cover all of our expenses. Therefore, we are asking our fans to donate if at all possible to our club, so we can travel to Phoenix and represent our school on the national stage. Please find the link to donate below, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts in advance.
We look forward to bringing the national championship back to Boston.
Cheers,
BCFC
