Recap: Boston College outlasts Northeastern, 3-2 (OT)
Boston College rallied to beat Hockey East rival Northeastern 3-2 in overtime on Oct. 31, 2026. After Matias Vanhanen’s 26‑second goal and a power‑play marker from Ryan Conmy gave the Eagles a 2‑0 lead, the Huskies answered with goals from Miguel Marques and a tying strike during a 4‑on‑3 sequence, forcing a tie. A disputed off‑side call and a roughing penalty sparked a physical contest, but BC regrouped in the third period. With under two minutes left, Conmy’s play set up the decisive overtime goal, sealing the win. Louka Cloutier tended solidly for BC while Northeastern’s Lawton Zacher made several key saves.
BC Football: How the Running Game is slowly forming into the team’s identity
Boston College has turned its rushing attack into the team’s identity, propelling the Eagles to a 4‑3 record and recent wins over Pitt and Georgia Tech. The Eagles rank fourth in the ACC with 181 rushing yards and 4.75 yards per carry, and they’re third in rushing first‑downs, tied for sixth with 13 rushing touchdowns. QB Mason McKenzie’s mobility and the emergence of backup back Bo MacCormack III—who posted 155 yards and three scores against Georgia Tech—have compensated for RB Evan Dickens’s season‑ending injury. With the run game driving momentum, BC eyes a bowl berth as the season nears its end.
Kaelan Chudzinski Available For Boston College’s Game vs. Duke
Boston College tight end Kaelan Chudzinski, a 2025 Freshman All-American who logged 24 catches for 313 yards and four touchdowns, is expected to suit up for Saturday’s matchup against Duke. Coach Bill O’Brien says Chudzinski is a game‑time decision after recovering from a spring Achilles injury that was once thought season‑ending. The Eagles’ tight ends have amassed just 152 yards and no scores this year, so his return could revitalize the offense. Training staff credit is given for his progress, with final clearance pending Saturday walkthroughs.

The Eagles, after a shaky start but a recent shootout tie with Denver, hope to snap a 0‑3 record against the Huskies and spark a weekend sweep.
BC vs Duke: Blue Devils Offense & Defense
Boston College (2‑2) heads to Atlanta for a Halloween showdown with 8th‑seed Duke, who sit 3‑1 after a last‑minute win over Virginia. Duke’s offense leans on sophomore running back Nate Sheppard, who has racked up 875 yards, 5.7 yards per carry, 30 receptions and nine total touchdowns, earning mid‑season All‑American honors. Quarterback Walker Eget throws for about 200 yards per game with a 62% completion rate, while receivers Jonah Burton, Jared Richardson and TE Jeremiah Hasley each contribute 200+ yards. Defensively, Duke ranks in the top 25 for total and scoring defense, limiting opponents to 3.3 yards per rush and posting 18 sacks. BC will need a quick‑handed McKenzie and solid third‑down play to pull off an upset and stay bowl‑eligible.
Boston College Men’s Basketball Roster Countdown: #13 Aly Tounkara

Coach expects Tounkara to bolster BC’s defensive paint and rebounding as a key bench player, providing experienced NCAA big‑man depth for a team known for its offense. His height and block‑making ability could anchor the Eagles’ interior this season.

2026-2027 NCAA Women’s Hockey GRaNT Computer Rankings
The 2026-27 GRaNT Computer Rankings debut a new statistical model for NCAA Division I/National Collegiate women’s hockey. Using a goal‑percentage (G%) approach—similar to KRACH but focused on goal ratios—the system assigns each team a rating that predicts expected goal shares against opponents. A rating of 100 marks an average team; for example, a 300‑rating team would be expected to score about 70.5% of the goals versus a 125‑rating team. The methodology accounts for shutouts, diminishing returns on blowouts, and includes a phantom 1‑1 tie to stabilize calculations. An interactive calculator lets fans forecast match‑up G% and projected scores, while the RRSP metric shows a team’s round‑robin scoring percentage. Rankings are updated weekly on BC Interruption.
2026-2027 NCAA Men’s Hockey GRaNT Computer Rankings
The 2026‑2027 GRaNT Computer Rankings launch a new statistical system for NCAA Division I men’s hockey, positioning itself alongside KRACH, CHODR and traditional metrics like RPI. GRaNT rates teams by goal‑percentage (G%) rather than raw goal differential, using a KRACH‑style formula that balances expected versus actual G% across all games. A rating of 100 denotes an average team, with higher numbers indicating stronger squads. The site also offers an interactive calculator to predict G% and scorelines for any matchup, plus a Round‑Robin Scoring Percentage (RRSP) metric. Rankings will be updated weekly, and the author invites readers to request updates via email.

The 3‑star 2025 prospect boasts strong ball‑handling for a big man and a developing outside shot. As the sole scholarship player remaining after Grant’s exit, Bailey aims to earn a rotation spot and could become a key ACC contributor, boosting BC’s rebounding and giving Murray an additional offensive outlet. His potential makes him a pivotal piece for the Eagles this season.
