CHESTNUT HILL, MA - The Boston College women's basketball team is getting ready for a 10-day, five game tour of Italy which begins Thursday. Scheduled to leave Boston in the evening, the Eagles will spend three days in Nice, France before making stops in Venice, Florence and Rome, Italy.
While in Europe, Boston College will play two games with the Nice University club while also touring the city. In Italy, the Eagles will take on the Viterbo Club, the S. Raffaele Club, and the Italian Junior National Team. The squad will also have an opportunity to see many famous tourist attractions, including the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Michaelangelo's David and Venice's Grand Canal.
In preparation for the tour of Italy, the team was able to practice for 10 days. During that time, the Eagles also spent time reaching out to the Greater Boston community. Tuesday, members of the team went to Spaulding Rehabilitation Pediatric Unit at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. There, the Eagles visited with patients Tiffanie Aleman, Becky More, and Nick D'eon (all pictured). Earlier in the week, the Eagles also spent time bagging food for a local food drive.
