1- Seed of the U.S. men's hockey team in the Olympic tournament after a stunning 5-3 win on Sunday over Canada. In Vancouver, the Americans rode a 45-save effort from goalie Ryan Miller and two goals out of nowhere from Brian Rafalski to stun the Canadians and advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. Thanks to a 3-0 win by Sweden over Finland, the United States will next take the ice on Wednesday against the winner of Switzerland-Belarus, having upset Canada, the heavy gold-medal favorite.
27 - Points in the standings accumulated by the men's hockey team thus far this year, the most by the Jumbos in the NESCAC era. Tufts, which improved to 12-9-3 on the year thanks in part to a dominating 7-2 win on Friday at home against Saint Michael's, has also accumulated its most number of wins since the 2000-01 season, and the squad's 23 victories in the past two campaigns are the most in back-to-back years since 1999-2001.
12,490 - Career rushing yards for running back LaDainian Tomlinson in nine seasons with the San Diego Chargers. Tomlinson, the most prolific back in San Diego history, was released on Monday afternoon, thanks in large part to his relatively old age of 30 and declining numbers over recent years. Tomlinson, additionally, has rushed for 138 touchdowns since coming out of TCU and has caught another 15 touchdowns through the air.
60.9 - Free-throw percentage shot by the women's basketball team over the course of last Saturday's 65-54 overtime loss to Bowdoin in the first round of the NESCAC Tournament. The Jumbos, who battled back in the second half to tie the game at 50-50, shot just 10-for-17 in the latter 20 minutes, their worst half in which they attempted at least 10 free throws since Jan. 16.
12 - Shots taken by Antawn Jamison in his Cleveland Cavaliers debut on Friday, failing to make a single one. Jamison's 0-for-12 mark was the worst for any player in his first game with a new team. Since trading for the former Wizards forward, the Cavaliers have dropped three straight (though Jamison did not play in one of them), marking the first time they've suffered such a long losing streak in two years.
457 - Senior diver Lindsay Gardel's score in the preliminaries of the 1-meter event on Friday at Middlebury College in the NESCAC Championships, which broke the Middlebury Natatorium record. Gardel topped a field of eight qualifiers for the finals by almost 55 points. In the final, her 437.95 score was ahead of the closest competitor. Gardel helped lead the Jumbos to a fourth-place overall finish at the Championships.
