BOSTON (AP) — On the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Boston College hosted Rutgers in its annual Red Bandanna Game on Friday night.
It had special meaning for both schools.
The Eagles honor the memory of former lacrosse player Welles Crowther, who died rescuing more than a dozen people in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. The BC grad was known for carrying a red bandanna.
"It's so uplifting," said Alison Crowther, the mother of Welles, on the field an hour before the game. "The love that our whole family feels here at Boston College."
She spoke on the sideline with Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" playing in the background as fans were making their way into Alumni Stadium holding red bandanna giveaways.
