Coming home

Tufts students and alumni rallied behind Jumbo teams on Saturday. They got mixed results from the four Tufts-Bowdoin Homecoming matchups. Next to a packed Tailgaters' Village, the football team won 21-13 behind two rushing touchdowns and a dramatic interception return for a score. Women's soccer cruised to its seventh straight win on the legs of a senior leader and a sophomore phenom. Men's soccer and field hockey both tried to mount second-half comebacks and both came up short. The men fell to 2-5-1 on with a 2-1 loss to the Polar Bears, and the field hockey team missed against the top-ranked team in the nation, although it became the first squad this season to score on the Polar Bears.
