Heading into Saturday’s first round of the NCAA tournament against Rutgers, Mike Sisselberger has won 79.5 of his faceoffs, which is better than the current NCAA Division I record for a season.
But it was never a sure thing Sisselberger would even see this much playing time. His teammate, Conor Gaffney, is an All-American himself.

The Terrier softball team has had great success since Ashley Waters became head coach six years ago, but this season has topped them all. Going into the 2021 Patriot League tournament, Boston University has 33 wins in 35 games, setting a program-record .943 winning percentage.
“I can’t complain too much,” Waters says. “I’m really proud of what we’ve done thus far.”
Running away with the 2021 regular season title, BU is hosting the four-team double-elimination tournament today, Thursday, May 13, through Saturday, May 15. As the home team and two-time reigning champions, the Terriers won’t be satisfied with anything less than another trophy, Waters says.
