The Boston College Eagles (10-20, 2-4 ACC) softball team has had a tough go of it so far this season. After opening its campaign with a 8-4 victory over Eastern Kentucky, the tides have turned for BC.

Coming into this weekend's series at Harrington Athletics Village in Brighton, Mass., the Eagles have won just one of their last seven matchups.

That win came on Saturday, March 21 against Pitt, when BC took a 6-3 victory on the road. It was BC's only triumph of that weekend series, though, dropping Friday's game in a close 9-8 affair and Sunday's tie by a score of 12-9.

Prior to that, the Eagles were swept by then- No. 23 ranked South Carolina. The Gamecocks defeated the Eagles by scores of 10-2, 9-1, and 2-1.

BC lost the game prior to that series in a one-off matchup against Radford, 3-2.

The Eagles need to pick up some momentum this weekend as ACC play continues. They'll face another tough task, though, in No. 12 Virginia Tech. The Hokies hold a 28-4 overall record and a 4-2 ACC record.

The Rundown: Friday, March 27, 2026:

Boston College men's basketball found its new leader, hiring UConn assistant coach Luke Murray as its new head coach. Murray replaces Earl Grant, who was fired after five seasons in Chestnut Hill.

Opening Day kicked off in the MLB, with some solid BC represenation. Blake Butera began his tenure as the manager of the Washington Nationals with a 10-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

No. 15 Boston College women's lacrosse picked up a huge win over No. 2 Stanford, 13-11. The Eagles have been struggling recently but this win will go a long ways for their confidence.
