The roster limits vary by sport and are part of the House v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) settlement, which will overhaul the current system of college sports.

The Girls basketball team looks to remain undefeated against Churchill tonight with the Region on the line. The girls beat Gaithersburg in the regional semis 55-40 while Churchill beat BCC 70-42. The girls have faced and beaten Churchill twice this season, but nothing is set in stone when it comes to the playoffs.

Tipoff is at 7 for the elimination game.
