Despite getting out to an early lead, the Jumbos fell to the Middlebury Panthers during Parents Weekend on a goal scored off a corner kick in the last two minutes of the game. For the Jumbos, it was a heartbreaking loss, filled with missed opportunities in the second half to put the game away.
The Jumbos saw their record drop to .500 in both conference and overall play, while Middlebury retained its second-place spot in the NESCAC. Following losses to the top two ranked teams, Trinity and Middlebury, Tufts' ranking dropped from third to fifth in the conference standings.
Despite the loss, the Jumbos came away with mixed feelings because they were able to control the ball well and create chances up top, according to senior tri-captain Anya Kaufmann.
We had a lot of opportunities and we were moving the ball well
