The CCLA's #1 team, University of Pittsburgh, travels in to Massachusetts this weekend to play two strong PCLL opponents. Pitt takes on the Boston College Eagles at Tufts University on Saturday at 8 PM and then travels to Bridgewater State College on Sunday for an 11 AM start time.

Pittsburgh has been climbing in the USL MDIA Top 25 poll recently and finds themselves ranked 22nd in the nation. The Panthers are ranked first in their conference with wins versus Indiana, Central Michigan, Clemson, Auburn, and East Carolina. They suffered their first loss of the year last month against Oakland.

The PCLL's Boston College Eagles are also having a strong season. Until an overtime loss to New Hampshire on Friday, the Eagles have been undefeated in games versus Stanford, Cal, UC-Davis, Chico State, BU, and WPI. The Eagles are nationally ranked at #9.

Bridgewater State is right in the mix as well. Bridgewater loss their season opener to North Carolina State and their most recent game versus Stonehill but has beaten South Carolina, Santa Clara, Cal-Berkley, BU, UConn, and and NCAA D-3 Dean College.

To Bello Field From Boston, the south, & the South Shore, follow the Southeast Expressway (Route 3 North) to Interstate 93 north to exit 32, Medford Square. Follow the exit ramp to Medford Square.

Not to nit pick, but I'd have to say Pittsburgh is the #3 CCLA team, behind Michigan and Oakland. They just havn't gotten into the meat of their conference schedule yet.

BWS is up 4-1 on Pitt after 1 quarter. I won't be able to give anymore updates though. sorry.
