The women's basketball team was a 58-55 upset victim to NESCAC rival Colby Friday night, ending its nine-game winning streak and dealing the squad its first conference loss of the year. The Mules were aided in part by nearly flawless free-throw shooting; Colby was 18-21 from the charity stripe while Tufts attempted just 11 free throws the entire game. Following this weekend, opponents have attempted more free throws than the Jumbos in 11 out of 15 games this season. A look inside Tufts' charity-stripe woes:
