CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College women's tennis team is excited to announce the additions of Olivia Benton and Saige Severance as the incoming class of 2028, announced today by head coach Nigel Bentley.
"We are absolutely thrilled to have Olivia and Saige coming to Boston College next September," Bentley said. "This is a great day for the BC women's tennis program. They share our same team goals and will be huge additions to our lineup. Both are extremely hard workers on the tennis court and in the classroom. Olivia and Saige both were so engaged and enthusiastic on their Official Visits we all knew immediately this was the perfect fit. The BC community will benefit greatly from their contributions and I cannot wait to have them competing for the Eagles in the future."
