ovie Stanwick could have played for more established college women’s lacrosse teams, but she knew she could
change the game at Boston College the way her sisters did at Georgetown. Three years into the rebuilding project that brought the highly coveted Stanwick and Mikaela Rix to Chestnut Hill, the fast-ascending Eagles no longer need to fantasize about making the NCAA tournament or belonging in the same breath as their ACC brethren. They’re here. “We’re defi nitely moving in the right direction,” Stanwick said. “It’s awesome. It’s a great feeling. It’s great to be a part of the program that’s making strides.” Stanwick became Boston College’s
fi rst ACC Rookie of the Year in 2012. But the Eagles, who qualifi ed for their
fi rst NCAA tournament the previous year, could not sustain the momentum and stumbled to a 10-8 fi nish that led to the decision not to retain coach Bowen Holden, who after seven seasons at the helm was replaced by assistant Acacia Walker.
