"I am so thankful for Blake James and Acacia Walker-Weinstein for allowing me the opportunity to work with the elite athletes and staff at Boston College," said Kent. "Acacia, Jen Kent and Sam Apuzzo have created such a special program that I am fortunate to be a part of."

The rising senior was a First-Team All-American and later a Honda Sport Award finalist. Dolce set the ACC Tournament record with 38 saves.
