BC currently stand at 13-5 on the season and 1-3 in the ACC after a tough road trip this past weekend with matches against Virginia Tech and Wake Forest in which they lost 3-0 and 3-1 respectively.

However in their match against Wake Forest, BC did continue to show how resilient they can be in spite of adversity as they nearly forced a fifth set after being down 2-0 to begin the match. The Eagles currently sit tied for fourth in the ACC in overall standings with Florida State, Wake Forest, and Duke. Louisville and Pitt currently sit atop the conference at 13-1 and 14-2.Â
