May 2008

The Falcon football team found themselves in an unfamiliar position coming into the 2007 season; they were coming off a mediocre 2006 season in which they posted a 6-5 recorded and posted a meager 14.4 points per game. Since the turn of the century, the Falcons have been more accustomed to putting up around 30 points and losing no more than three games in a season.

Senior Beth Gendron scored four goals and tallied her 100th career point to lead Bentley in a 17-1 rout of American International in Northeast-10 Conference women’s lacrosse action on Friday night at the Bentley lacrosse field. After the regular season finale for both teams, the Falcons end the regular season at 7-9 overall and 6-4 in conference play and will await tomorrow’s results to find out if they will be traveling to Merrimack or Bryant to open the NE-10 Tournament on Wednesday.

Winning has become synonymous with the Bentley Falcon field hockey team. The Falcons have reached numerous Final Fours, including one each of the last two years. This fall, the team enjoyed another successful campaign as they finished the year 15-7, 13-3 in conference and made it all the way to the Final Four before falling to the Umass Lowell River Hawks.

The Falcons are making it tougher and tougher to come with an adjective for their success. However, one word still describes this team perfectly: historic. This team will go down in history as one of the best teams in the history of New England basketball.

Junior Greg Rogowski scored four goals to lead Merrimack to a 10-6 win over Bentley in the first round of the Northeast-10 Conference Men’s Lacrosse Tournament on Tuesday night at Warrior Field. The Warriors, ranked ninth in the nation in this week’s USILA Division II Coaches Poll and the third seed in the tournament, improved to 12-3 and now advance to face second-seeded Bryant in the semifinals on Friday.
