FOXBORO — Reaching a national championship game is never a fait accompli. Boston College had certainly made it look like such when it comes to women’s lacrosse, but saw its recent streak of success snapped Friday night. Junior attackman Madison Taylor sniped four goals, and assisted on the game-clincher late, as third-seeded Northwestern stormed back from a five-goal fourth quarter deficit to stun the second-ranked Eagles, 12-11, at Gillette Stadium. “I know you can’t really see it from the outside, but this team came a really long way,” said Boston College coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein. “I’m proud of the standard that…

The Boston Red Sox cannot afford to lose Alex Bregman for long, if at all. The third baseman left Friday’s game with right quad tightness. Bregman and manager Alex Cora did not sound seriously concerned after the game, so if the star does miss time, Boston hopes its minimal. Regardless, the Red Sox have emergency plans at third base, but those cannot be the answer for more than a day or two. The answer to fill in for Bregman, and eventually carve out a big-league lineup spot of his own, needs to be Marcelo Mayer. His talent speaks for itself.…
PHOTO: Boston Celtics/Facebook The Boston Celtics are a testament to the old saying that you live and die by the three, and nothing has been more true in their first two games against the New York Knicks.Blowing two games in a row in the playoffs is rare, but even more rare is when you lead by more than 20 points in both games. The Celtics seem so intent on settling for a three, even if the look is not the best, that they pay for it dearly against a scrappy Knicks team.While it is fun to watch your team go…

Bregman suffered the injury rounding first base after singling to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning. Bregman returned to first and motioned that he needed to come out of the game. “Just tight.

There are a handful of players the Red Sox cannot afford to be without, and Friday afternoon the club may have lost the most indispensable of all. Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman left Friday’s game with an apparent injury during the bottom of the fifth inning. The injury occurred after Bregman hit a hard line drive to left field for a base hit, and after rounding first he hesitated a moment before opting not to try and stretch the single into a double, but in the process it appeared that he tweaked something and immediately signaled for the trainer.…

According to the report, which cited an “insider,” Brady apparently wants to add a gold medal to his trophy case, and he apparently knows “he would be able to help and excel in that environment and…
