11:00 Women’s Game versus Wheaton College

The Women continue to recruit well and should have a competitive squad this fall under the guidance of Maureen ‘Moe’ MacEachern. After a tough season in DII, the women have returned to DIII and are excited to return to dominance. Wheaton went 4-1 last Fall and lost in the 2nd round of Playoffs to eventual Champion Bryant. Let’s kickoff the day right and cheer our women to victory!

NOTE: A Team Photo and group photo with returning Alumni will be taken at the conclusion of the game.

12:00 Lunch is served. BURC Alumni will be your cooks. Catch up with friends and check out the Club History display. RAAC and the Clubs will have items for sale to commemorate the 30th Anniversary.

1:00 30th Anniversary Comments – Brief statements from College, Alumni and Club Leadership.

1:30 Men’s Game versus Salve Regina

This should be a terrific contest with two strong teams. Last Fall, Salve Regina went 4-1. They won the Central Division and tied for 2nd in the Conference. They powered through Western CT, Plymouth State and Southern CT en route to the Division III Championship. At 3-2 for the Fall, Babson tied for 3rd in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Plate level Playoffs. They gave Bryant a tough match but conceded in the 1st round. Bryant cruised through two other matches to easily win the Division III Plate Championship. Babson’s young squad is expected to improve in 2009 and should make this matchup exciting!

NOTE: A Team Photo and group photo with returning Alumni will be taken at the conclusion of the game.
