BC Beats Notre Dame 5–4 in Extra Innings, Advances to Play Virginia in Second Round of ACC Tournament — The Heights

1 month ago | bcheights.com | Matthew Ferrara

Boston College baseball relief pitcher Ethan Soares entered the sixth inning after the game-tying run was walked-in. Notre Dame leadoff batter DM Jefferson and first team All-ACC catcher Carson Tinney were the next batters due up. But Soares struck out both. Soares looked just as dominant after wiping away those runners to end the sixth, as he shut out Notre Dame when his team needed it most. Notre Dame (32–21, 14–16 Atlantic Coast) recorded only one hit against Soares and struck out five times.
BC Loses Series to California, Drops to No. 14 Rank in ACC — The Heights

1 month ago | bcheights.com | Matthew Ferrara

A collegiate start remains a new task for Jacob Burnham. Burnham, a freshman, made two starts prior to Saturday, and none as efficient as the 11-pitch-per-inning pace he owned through four innings. The fifth inning was foreign territory for Burnham in a start, and Max Handron engaged Burnham in an eight-pitch at bat that ended with a booming single. The Bears ripped another single after Handron. A bunt, ultimately, brought in two runs for the Bears. Burnham charged the bunt and overthrew first base.

The Exit Interview: UGBC President Looks Back on Her Tenure — The Heights

1 month ago | bcheights.com | Will Martino

Meghan Heckelman came to Boston College by chance. In an overachieving and perhaps overly-anxious spree, she fired out applications to 18 different schools. When most came back with waitlists and rejections, BC emerged as her best option. Soon enough, it was move-in day, and her packed car was rounding the corner onto College Road as the gothic prongs of Gasson Hall peaked over the horizon. “I remember that moment so vividly,” said Heckelman, LSEHD ’25.
Ferrara: BC Volleyball’s Home Court is in the Plex. That’s a Problem. — The Heights

1 month ago | bcheights.com | Matthew Ferrara

On the third floor of Margot Connell Recreation Center, students count reps of lat pull-downs just feet away from Boston College volleyball’s home court. A strip of artificial turf, treadmills, and a jogging loop sit right above on the fourth floor, looking down on the court. Only four transparent doors separate Division-I, ACC matchups from the clatter of dumbbell plates and a whole row of strength equipment.
The Art of Pretending — The Heights

When I first walked into my Duchesne dorm room, it smelled like someone else’s laundry. Its prison-like walls were marked scratches that promised a story, and so did the dented door. I had inherited just half of it for a year. But I pretended like it had been mine all along. The bulletin boards on my walls were decked out with mementos, pictures, and posters of all my favorite things.
Caltha Wins BC’s Best, Will Open for Swae Lee at Modstock

2 months ago | bcheights.com | Kathy Lu

Under the shimmering sunset hour on Thursday, Boston College’s Music Guild hosted their annual BC’s Best contest. Unlike previous years, the first opener of Modstock will be decided through a student open vote coordinated by Campus Activities Board (CAB) rather than through BC’s Best. Instead, the second opener was selected from one of the three bands performing at BC’s Best. This year’s winner, Caltha, is set to perform right before Swae Lee on May 1.
Brennan: College Hockey Doesn’t Run Through New England Anymore, and That’s Okay. — The Heights

Boston College men’s hockey’s loss to Denver this year marked the end of my time covering the team and jettisoned me into my next chapter as a full-time fan. Thus, as I sat and watched the NCAA Championship, I couldn’t help but enjoy Western Michigan’s four-goal victory over Boston University.
Colarusso Pitches Eight Innings, BC Falls 2–1 to Miami in First Game of Series — The Heights

2 months ago | bcheights.com | Matthew Ferrara

Some believe that when a pitcher is throwing a perfect game, it risks a jinx to talk about it. But perhaps even more common than superstitious no-hitter rites, are concerns about pulling a starter when they’re in rhythm. Boston College baseball pitcher A.J. Colarusso did have a perfect game going. But that didn’t last too long, as he walked Daniel Cuvet, the twelfth batter he faced. Colarusso, however, remained unphased and retired the next batter on two pitches to end the inning.

But perhaps even more common than superstitious no-hitter rites are concerns about pulling a starter when they’re in rhythm. Boston College baseball pitcher A.J. Colarusso did have a perfect game going. But that didn’t last forever, as he walked Daniel Cuvet, the twelfth batter he faced. Colarusso, however, remained unfazed and retired the next batter on two pitches to end the inning.
