  • All-Time W-L Record: 1,103-841 (.567) from 1905 through 2011.
  • NOTE: Boston College competed in seven seasons from 1904-05 through 1919-20 under several coaches, but did not field a formal team from 1925-26 through 1944-45. Among the reasons for BC dropping the sport: Boston public schools dropped the sport (thus depleting the local talent pool), no dormitories to house the players and the team was without a home gym.
