Boston College 2024 Opponent Previews: Duquesne
That said, the Eagles have a stellar record against FCS opponents. Holy Cross almost got them last year, but BC has not lost to an FCS or DI-AA team since falling to UMass 27-0 in 1978. Given how much the Dukes lost to graduation and that they got trounced by superior teams (West Virginia, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, Youngstown State), it's hard to view them as a serious threat to Boston College. Nevertheless, they're on the schedule, so let's dive in.

A Beautiful Night at the Hatch Shell
For the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, the bandshell took on a joyous atmosphere, both visually and sonically; on Wednesday the amplification aptly showcased the performers without being overwhelming. The 6:30 PM Prelude Concert by students of the Boston String Academy included two works by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla (1921 – 1992), Libertango and Fuga y Misterio. Piazzolla adds coloristic interest by using typical tango techniques to create pitchless, percussive sounds, such as playing forcefully on the tailpiece side of the bridge and plucking the strings to produce a snapping sound. The performers synchronized their playing impressively, particularly given that they were self-conducted. The Vivace from Bach’s Double Violin Concerto, featuring soloists Fiona Yuan and Gisele Francisco, was light and sprightly. The placement of the second Piazzolla after the Bach highlighted the similarity of Piazzolla’s use of scalar thematic material and counterpoint to Bach’s.
