Jumbos shine at MIT Invitational Tournament

The volleyball team showcased its improvement this weekend, winning three of its four games in the MIT Invitational Tournament on Friday and Saturday. Tufts finished second out of 16 teams in the tournament and improved their season record to 6-6, with five wins in their last six contests. The Jumbos first handled Bridgewater State, 3-1, in Cousens Gym on Friday and then blanked the Pride 3-0 to win their group, Pool D. The next day Tufts traveled to MIT to take on Wellesley, the Pool B winner, in the tournament semifinal. The women again won in three to advance to the tournament finals. The MIT Engineers were just too tough in the final match of the weekend. The Engineers have the latest win in the two teams' heated history by handing the Jumbos their only loss of the weekend, 3-0.
