The Boston College women’s soccer program is establishing itself as
one of the top programs in the country. The Eagles have reached the
NCAA Tournament five consecutive seasons and the players are making
strides on the national scene. A number of players have competed in the
US National Team program in the youth system. Most recently, senior
Caroline Walden and alums Jenny Maurer and Kia McNeill were called
in to train with the Under-23 Women’s National team in preparation for
the before the 2008 Nordic Cup. McNeill, who is now with Kristianstad
in Sweden, was an alternate for the U-23 team at the 2008 Nordic Cup.
Gina DiMartino trained over the summer with the Under-20 women’s
team and was named to the team for the 2008 FIFA U-20 women’s World
Cup.
Newton Campus Soccer Field
The Boston College soccer field is nestled behind the Law School on the Newton
Campus. The field opened in September of 1999 when the men’s team hosted
Army for the first home game. The Eagles posted a 3-0 victory. The women’s
first match at the Newton Campus Soccer Field was a 5-0 victory over Central
Connecticut on September 15, 1999.
The field was so well received it was honored by the Soccer Manager’s
Association as the College Soccer Field of the Year in 1999.
The Newton Campus Soccer Field has gone through its biggest renovation as
Boston College converted the grass to Polytan Artificial Turf over the summer
of 2008. Polytan surfaces are used at the World Cup Stadium in Stuttgart,
Germany, Olympic Stadium in Munich, Football Academy FC Bayern, Stadium
La Maladiere in Switzerland and Warsteiner Stadium (men’s World Cup, 2006).
Along with the field, Boston College has added a 30 seat enclosed press box
with internet access and an outdoor deck for filming.
On October 3, 2003, the women’s team hosted the first night game on the
Newton Campus Field. Nearly 2,000 people came out to watch the Eagles battle
the Connecticut Huskies. BC fell in overtime, but it marked a new era for Boston
College soccer. The Eagles first home ACC victory in the history of the program
came on September 20, 2005 when the Eagles captured a 1-0 win over Duke.
In the nine year history of the Newton Soccer Field, the Boston College women’s
team is currently 69-15-6. The teams’ best record on home turf came in 2003
when the Eagles went 11-1. Last season Boston College went 9-1-3 with wins
over No. 3 Virginia, No. 25 Wake Forest and Boston University.
BC
In 2008 the women’s team will host 10 games, including three contests under
the lights. The Eagles will host a number of great matches this fall, including the
home opener against Brown University on Friday, September 5 at 5 p.m. The
Eagles will also host cross-town rival Harvard on Friday, September 19 at 4 p.m.
The 2008 ACC schedule has the Eagles hosting Miami, Florida State, Maryland,
Virginia Tech and Clemson.
Attendance
On October 13, 2005, No. 10 ranked Boston College hosted No. 3 ranked North Carolina in front
of a record-breaking crowd of 2,200. It was the first time the two teams played since the early
1980’s. In 2007, the two teams battled again in front of 1,573 people. The two games vs. UNC
are the largest regular season game crowds in the history of the BC women’s soccer program.

In any season, Boston College student-athletes are able to take advantage of
the best in practice facilities thanks to “The Bubble”.
The newest of Boston College’s athletic facilities, the bubble can handle all
facets of the soccer team’s off-season training regimen. The facility houses
strength and conditioning workouts and scrimmages for the soccer team.
Erected in December of 1998, the bubble cost approximately $2 million. The
structure measures 360’ x 210’ and is 70’ tall, covering the entire football field
and extending a few feet beyond the end zones and sidelines. The bubble usually
takes four hours to inflate and is wired for electrical power. It is heated and can
reach 72 degrees Fahrenheit, though it is usually kept at 55 degrees.
Each year the bubble is erected at the end of November and stays inflated until
the end of March. Facility hours are 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Boston College
Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of
Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants.
It was the first institution of higher education to be
founded in the city of Boston. Today, it is one of the
foremost universities in the nation, with a coeducational
enrollment of 14,500 undergraduate and graduate
students. Boston College has drawn students from
all 50 states and more than 85 countries.
“Deeply rooted in its Catholic and Jesuit origins, Boston
College offers an education that is distinctive in spirit
and content, that is doubly rich with the best of human
thought and with the profound insights of faith,” writes
Reverend William P. Leahy, SJ, who assumed the
presidency of Boston College in 1996. “We believe that
Boston College provides a transforming experience for
young men and women.”
Boston College has grown not just in size, but also in
stature and diversity. Today, it is ranked among the top
35 national universities by US News & World Report.
Its Graduate School of Social Work is listed among the
nation’s top 15, also by US News, while the graduate
programs of its Lynch School of Education are among
the top 20 and its Connell School of Nursing and Law
School are among the top 30. In addition, its Carroll
School of Management undergraduate program is
listed among the nation’s top 15 by Business Week.
Boston College is among the nation’s most selective
universities, with more than 30,000 applications
received for its 2,250-member Class of 2012, and is
numbered among the top American private research
universities. Its endowment of $1.7 billion is among
the nation’s 40 largest.
A continued expression of this philosophy, based on
the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care for the
individual, is the faculty’s dedication to teaching. BC
faculty members have been honored for their teaching
by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Education, while the University’s overall commitment
to teaching has been ranked among the nation’s top
20, also by US News & World Report.
After more than a century of growth and evolution,
Boston College holds fast to the ideals that inspired
its Jesuit founders. The University today remains
focused on its mission of helping students to develop
their minds and talents while providing them with the
motivation and compassion to use those talents in the
service of others.
A Boston College education focuses not only on
intellectual development, but also on personal, spiritual
and physical development. Students are asked to use
their abilities, education and acquired skills to help
others in need, whether in Boston or Belize. Each year,
more than 5,000 undergraduates give some 375,000
hours of community service in the Boston area, while
more than 650 students trade vacation for service
during Spring Break. Nearly 2,000 students take part
in retreats and spiritual formation activities annually.
Today, the Boston College motto “ever to excel” also
extends to a broad array of extracurricular activities
and opportunities ranging from sports to the arts.
Athletics is integral to the University’s focus on the
development of the whole person in body as well as
in mind and spirit. BC offers 31 men’s and women’s
varsity sports, all of which compete at the NCAA
Division I level, and annually has one of the highest
graduation rates in Division IA.
BC offers a wide variety of resources that enrich
intellectual and cultural life beyond the campus
gates. Among these are the Jesuit Institute; Center
for Ignatian Spirituality; Center for Catholic Education;
Church in the 21st Century Center; Boisi Center
for Religion and American Public Life; Center for
Human Rights and International Justice; Center
for Christian-Jewish Learning; Winston Center
for Leadership and Ethics; Center on Wealth and
Philanthropy; Center for Retirement Research; Center
on Aging and Work; Center for the Study of Testing,
Evaluation and Educational Policy; TIMSS and PIRLS
International Study Center; Center for International
Higher Education; Burns Library of Rare Books and
Special Collections; Robsham Theater Arts Center;
McMullen Museum of Art; Center for Child, Family
and Community Partnerships; Center for Corporate
Citizenship; Center for Work and Family; Center for
Irish Programs; Urban Ecology Institute and Weston
Observatory.

that has solidified its position among the nation’s best and most selective national
universities. Since 1996, BC’s endowment, sponsored research grants and
student financial aid have doubled, and the percentage of student applicants
accepted has fallen from 41 percent to 27 percent, while SAT scores have risen
by more than 100 points. In addition, 100 full-time faculty members have been
added, minority student enrollment in undergraduate programs has climbed from
18 percent to 26 percent and cash gifts to the University have increased from $24
million to $95 million.
During his presidency, undergraduate applications to Boston College have grown
from 16,500 to more than 30,000, making BC the fourth most- applied to private
university in the United States. Currently, the University enrolls students from all
50 states and 80 countries, and its undergraduates have earned more than 150
prestigious fellowships, including two Rhodes Scholarships. Student-athletes
at BC succeed in balancing the demands of academics and athletics, and BC
consistently ranks among those universities with the highest NCAA graduation
rates.

in sacred theology while there. Ordained a priest in 1978, he completed doctoral
studies in United States history at Stanford University in 1985.
Most recently, the Boston College community has been engaged in a comprehensive
assessment and planning effort that resulted in a 10-year Strategic Plan. This plan
will build on Boston College’s strengths and accomplishments of the past and will
focus additional resources on undergraduate liberal arts education and formation,
as well as integrated science research and teaching. The University also intends
to increasingly apply the strengths of its professional schools to resolving critical
societal issues, and foster even more international links. In addition, Boston
College intends to remain faithful to its Jesuit, Catholic heritage and to become
the leading Catholic university and theological center in the world.

Director of Athletics
BC
Gene DeFilippo
48
Since Gene DeFilippo became Director of Athletics
in September of 1997, he has led the BC athletics
program to an unprecedented period of innovation,
growth, fundraising, athletic and academic success.
DeFilippo has made a significant impact on the
program internally, in the Boston community, and
from a national standpoint while molding it into one
of the nation’s elite both on and off the playing field.
He also led the program through one of the most
significant periods in its history as it transitioned to full
membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
scoreboards and other improvements at Shea Field,
renovations to Conte Forum, including a new sound
system, floor and video boards, two new soccer fields
on the Newton campus, new Field Turf for Alumni
Stadium, and an air-inflated bubble to cover the
stadium turf to provide an indoor practice facility for
all sports during the winter months.
the “Penguin of the Year” Award from Youngstown
State University in 2003 and the Distinguished Alumni
Award from Springfield College in 2001. In April of
2000, he was awarded the “I Migliori” plaque at the
Pirandello Lyceum’s annual awards banquet, honoring
outstanding achievements and exemplary lives of
Italian-Americans.
DeFilippo was instrumental in raising money to build
the privately funded $27 million, 72,000-square-foot
Yawkey Athletics Center, which houses the football
program, the Office of Learning Resources for
Student-Athletes, and a large function area for general
University use, freeing up critically needed space in
Conte Forum for women’s athletics and other Olympic
sports teams. After football moved into the Yawkey
Center, BC undertook a multi-million dollar renovation
of Conte Forum to provide additional locker room and
office space for many of BC’s 31 varsity sports.
At Boston College, DeFilippo is responsible for
the administration and management of a broadbased athletics program committed to the pursuit of
excellence in both intercollegiate competition and
academic achievement. The Boston College program
is comprised of approximately 750 student-athletes
participating in 31 men’s and women’s varsity sports,
all of which compete at the NCAA Division I level, in
addition to a wide variety of intramural, recreation and
club sports. Boston College also is a member of the
Atlantic Coast Conference and Hockey East.
DeFilippo renamed the Athletics Association’s
fundraising arm (formerly Blue Chips) in honor of
longtime Athletics Director Bill Flynn. Alumni, parents
and friends of Boston College Athletics contributed a
record $21 million in 2008, a 10% increase from the
previous year’s record and more than 200% of what
was raised as recently as 2003.
As both a top-level administrator and a former Division
I football coach, DeFilippo brought to Boston College
a wide range of experience on and off the field.
From 1993-97, he served as director of athletics at
Villanova University, where he was named to the
NCAA Division I Management Council. At Villanova,
his tenure included the 1997 Big East regular-season
men’s basketball tournament title; 1994 NIT men’s
basketball championship; two NCAA championships
for women’s cross country, and a Rhodes Scholar,
among others. In addition to the NCAA Division I
Management Council, DeFilippo was named to the
NCAA Nominating Committee, the NCAA Special
Committee on Marketing, Promotions and Licensing
and the executive board of the Philadelphia Sports
congress.
Anne and Gene DeFilippo cemented their commitment
to Boston College by announcing their pledge of
$100,000 to endow a scholarship. The scholarship
will be awarded annually to a female student-athlete
who demonstrates outstanding academic achievement
and financial need.
DeFilippo is credited with spearheading efforts to
strengthen BC’s athletics program in a number of
areas, including facilities, fundraising, staffing and
academic support. Boston College student-athletes’
achievements in the classroom have become an
immense source of pride for the University and
its supporters. The Office of Learning Resources
for Student-Athletes recently moved into a brand
new home in the Yawkey Athletics Center. Under
DeFilippo’s leadership, 379 BC student-athletes
maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or better
during the 2007-08 academic year, earning the
Athletics Director’s Award for Academic Excellence.
The football team won the 2004 American Football
Coaches Association’s Academic Achievement Award
with a 100% graduation rate and BC’s graduation rate
for all student-athletes has consistently ranked in the
nation’s top ten. Also under DeFilippo’s leadership,
U.S. News and World Report honored Boston College
as one of the top 20 athletics departments in the
country.
In athletics competition, DeFilippo has overseen some
of the most successful seasons in Boston College
Athletics history. During the 2007-08 season, the
football team appeared in a school-record ninth
consecutive bowl game and won its eighth straight.
The men’s ice hockey team won its third national
championship after advancing to the championship
game for the third straight year and the Frozen Four for
the eighth time in 11 seasons. The men’s soccer team
captured both the ACC regular-season and tournament
championships and entered the NCAA Men’s Soccer
Tournament as the overall No. 1 seed.
DeFilippo has restructured the athletics program
and hired top-notch administrators. He initiated an
impressive overhaul of BC’s athletics facilities that
includes new football practice facilities, lighting,
DeFilippo was named the 2000-01 Division I-A
Northeast Region NACDA/Continental Airlines AD
of the Year. He was honored at the annual NACDA
convention in Salt Lake City in June 2001. He received
DeFilippo is extremely active on the national scene. He
is the past president of NACDA (National Association of
Collegiate Directors of Athletics), the nation’s Division
I-A Athletics Directors’ organization, and is a member
of the Board of Directors of the National Football
Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. He
is also a former representative to the NCAA Division I
Management Council.
His coaching experience includes three years as
offensive backfield coach at Vanderbilt (198082), which included the 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl.
From 1975-79, he was offensive coordinator at
Youngstown State University, during which time the
team won two consecutive Mid-Continent Conference
championships, 1978-79. In 1973-74, he was
graduate assistant football coach for the University
of Tennessee, coaching in the 1973 Gator Bowl and
1974 Liberty Bowl.
A 1973 graduate of Springfield College with a
Bachelor of Science degree, DeFilippo earned three
varsity letters as a quarterback in football during his
undergraduate career. He received a master’s degree
in educational administration from the University of
Tennessee in 1974.
DeFilippo and his wife, Anne, are the parents of three
children - Christine, a guidance counselor at Beaver
Country Day School; John, quarterbacks coach for
the Oakland Raiders, and Mary, a 2007 graduate
of Boston College who is a production assistant for
Cramer Productions.
