Tufts teams split Tuesday night contests

    The ice hockey team dropped its fourth straight game last night, tripping up at Conn. College, 3-1. The game was never in doubt, as the Camels took a 3-0 lead before sophomore Tom Derosa scored his eighth goal of the season and the lone tally of the game for the Jumbos. Rookie goaltender Scott Barchard saved 23 of 26 shots, while junior Greg Parker of Conn. College was 21-for-21. Tufts again struggled on power plays, going 1-for-5, but the Camels weren't much better at 2-for-6. The match ends a five-game road stretch for the Jumbos, who next take on Colby at home on Friday.
    The women's basketball team scored a 79-71 victory last night over non-conference rival Wheaton, which it beat last year in the regular season and postseason, as senior Katie Tausanovitch put up a game-high 23 points and 12 rebounds and junior Julia Baily contributed a double-double of her own with 13 and 10 to go along with 3 blocks. Still, the bigger story of the night might be the injuries the Jumbos sustained. Sophomore Colleen Hart played only nine minutes before taking an elbow to the head that knocked her out of the game, while Tausanovitch injured her right hand. X-rays on Tausanovitch were negative; the extent of Hart's injury is as yet unknown.
