The women's soccer team picked up a 1-0 road win at Wesleyan yesterday, giving the Jumbos their eighth straight win and improving their season record to 9-1. Tufts now needs just two more wins to tie the program mark set in 2005 for most consecutive victories.
The win also kept the Jumbos' NESCAC mark unblemished at 6-0 and moved the team into a first-place tie with Williams atop the conference standings. Since the inception of the NESCAC Tournament in 2001, Tufts has topped six conference wins in a season, and with games at hand against Trinity, Williams and Conn. College, the Jumbos have ample opportunity to set a new program mark this season.
The team's lone goal came in the 73rd minute, when sophomore midfielder Cara Cadigan found the back of the net for her team-leading 11th goal of the season. With four regular season games remaining, Cadigan is within striking distance of Lisa Raffin's 26-year-old Tufts record for goals in a season with 15. She has scored a goal in nine of the Jumbos' 10 games this season, including eight in a row.
