Jumbos overcome Corsairs

    The women's basketball team pulled out its narrowest win of the season last night in Cousens Gym, edging out UMass Dartmouth 66-60 in a non-conference matchup. The nationally ranked No. 15 Jumbos improved to 16-2 on the season and are on a four-game winning streak since a Jan. 23 loss to the Colby Mules. UMass Dartmouth fell to 3-17 but was playing with only five able-bodied players for most of the game, actually managing to lead 28-27 at the half and tie it up at 52-52 with under 10 minutes remaining. Tufts stormed ahead with a 9-2 run in the final minutes to put the game out of reach.
    The Jumbos outrebounded UMass Dartmouth by 13 to counter lights-out shooting from three-point land for the Corsairs, who shot 57 percent from beyond the arc. Sophomore guard Colleen Hart scored a career-high 23 points while distributing five assists, while senior co-captain Kim Moynihan, the NESCAC co-Player of the Week, scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
