CHESTNUT HILL – In a season full of disappointment, BC fans didn’t have to hang their head in shame on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame is 5-2, ranked 12th in the country and only a few wins away from locking up another spot in the College Football…
We’ve got just four weeks left in the regular season and postseason pushes are in full go mode. UConn, URI, UNH, Maine, CCSU, Stonehill, Harvard, Dartmouth and Yale all have a real chance to extend their seasons heading into the Week 10 slate of games. We’ve got three of the 17 local D1 teams on a bye week, but plenty of great matchups. Here’s how this slate is shaping up:…

Saunier went 12-13 for 162 yards and a touchdown. Saunier also had three rushing touchdowns and 55…
More movement this week as the cream starts to rise to the top. The middle is still all jammed up and rotating on a weekly basis. With four weeks left in the regular season, the push to the postseason is on for some… 1. Harvard (6-0) – Andrew Aurich’s team appears to be a wagon. Now ranked 15th in the AFCA Coaches Poll and the offense is still pretty much…
In a bit of an odd circumstance, only two of the 14 local D1 programs playing this weekend were at home…and they faced each other. URI took down rival Bryant to stay unbeaten in the CAA and probably move back into the Top 15 FCS Coaches Poll this week. Check out Charlie Adams’ story on the site from Meade Stadium. Merrimack, Sacred Heart and CCSU were all on bye weeks….
