First, the Friars faced off against the #13 USF Bulls, and then they traveled north on Route 1-95 to face the Boston University Terriers. The Friars battled the Bulls step for step, earning a 1 -1 tie after double overtime. In the matchup on Tuesday, the two teams traded opportunities, but unlike the Terriers, the Friars were unable to capitalize, resulting in a 1-0 Terriers win over the 27th-ranked PC squad. Full Story 1 Friars Ranked Second in the Nation Both cross country teams had strong showings at the Paul Short Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa., this past weekend. The women's team came in first out of 44 teams. With a team score of 101, PC edged out the defending national champions, Villanova. The last time the PC team won this event, it went on to win the national title. Full Story PC Goes 1-1 The Friars tried to slam their way past New Hampshire last week as they opened their America East season with a 3-1 loss in four sets (18-25,25-12, 20-25, 20-25). They were led by middle blocker Shelagh Dolan '12, who racked up 12 kills and a .579 killing percentage. Lauren Fletcher '12 added 15 kills of her own, while Cassie Muzzonigro '13 recorded 17 digs.
