Northeastern alum rides to gold thrice in historic Paralympic debut

At the age of 16, a series of catastrophic health issues left Fiona Howard, then a highly-accomplished junior equestrian athlete, unsure if she would ever be able to get back in the saddle.
Now, almost a decade later, the Northeastern alum not only finds herself ranked among the best para dressage athletes in the world, but with three Paralympic gold medals under her belt — including the first-ever for the U.S. in the team event. The team’s combined final score of 235.567 is the highest ever rec...

The Dutch dynasty in field hockey continues.
With wins in both the men's and women's tournaments, the Netherlands completed the first-ever golden sweep in the sport's Olympic history, but that's just one of the many groundbreaking storylines the Paris Olympics offered.

Since the start of the season, there’s been no let up for Joseph Case’s championship-driven softball team - The Boston Globe

“When you know your coach believes in you, and when you know your coach has confidence in you, it’s definitely an important thing.”

“From the first practice, [coach Shannon Silva ] made it very, very clear she is expecting nothing less than she expected last year, this team is still just as good,” said Skye Dupre , a junior captain.

The message was clear from Day 1 of the preseason for the Joseph Case softball team: this is not a rebuild.

The Cardinals, who cruised to a 24-1 record and the Di

NFL Draft: How top-3 QB picks have fared in their rookie seasons

The New England Patriots are, in a word, unstable at the quarterback position.

Mac Jones’ predictable departure and Bailey Zappe’s unreliable play left the Patriots without a long-term answer at QB. Signing free agent Jacoby Brissett, known for his dependable backup status, didn’t settle the matter.

Though Jerod Mayo announced Monday that the Patriots are open to trading their third overall pick — weighing the benefits of securing additional draft picks further down the line in an attempt to s

The Boston University graduate workers union voted Wednesday to go on strike Monday afternoon if they do not reach a contract agreement with the university.

The union, which represents roughly 3,000 graduate student workers at BU, voted last week to authorize the strike after a longstanding battle with the university over fair pay and stronger benefits, including health care coverage and child care assistance.

These tributes show how beloved Bill Belichick is in New England

The news of Bill Belichick's departure from the New England Patriots came as a surprise to few after the six-time Super Bowl champions finished the season 4-13 — their worst finish during Belichick's tenure.

Here are some of the ways Patriots fans have shown their devotion to their greatest head coach throughout his storied career.

In January 2016, Gillet

Field hockey notebook: At Walpole, Kerin Birch is determined not only to return to the Division 1 final — but to win it all - The Boston Globe

Birch was hooked. She quickly signed up for Porker Camp, a summer youth program run by members of the field hockey team. After years of playing for club teams, Birch joined Walpole’s youth squad as soon as she hit eighth grade.

In 2013, her mother, Mary , accepted a position as an assistant coach on the school’s varsity girls’ basketball team. For two years, Birch sat at her mother’s games listening to the basketball players tell tales of Walpole’s legendary field hockey program.
