Offense marches football to a big win over the Wesleyan Cardinals

By Nick Dohr | October 19

Parents weekend and the Play for Pink dayhad the Tufts football team fired up, and right out of the gate, the squad was dominant. Under the lights and in front of a big crowd, junior running back Chartellis Reece started off the game for Tufts with an eight-yard carry. Junior quarterback Michael Berluti ran the ball later in the drive, gaining 24 yards and the third first down of the possession. Berluti put a 17-yard pass into the hands of junior wide receiver Cade Moore to send the Jumbos up 7–0. Sophomore kicker Vaughn Seelicke made the extra point. He went seven for seven in PATs on Saturday.

The Hard Count: Brock Purdy and the 49ers distinguish themselves from the top of NFC

By Reece Christian | October 13

In October 2022, the San Francisco 49ers traded four mid-round draft picks for dual-threat running back Christian McCaffrey. A year later, and that trade seems like more and more of a bargain. The Niners destroyed NFC rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, 42–10 on Sunday Night Football, as McCaffrey notched his 14th straight game with at least one touchdown (including four in one game a week ago).

Postgame Press: Be a good sport

By David Meyer | December 3

“Be a good sport." I think that is a line from "The Great Gatsby" (1925), but I may have heard it somewhere else. All I know is that in sports, good sportsmanship is a standard for players and teams to uphold, even at professional levels when all the players are grown-up. One of those ...

Somerville with Townie Tim: Thanksgiving

By Nate Rubright | November 20

Wow, what a holiday! As a townie of the millennial generation, the high cost of living in Somerville means your budget may not support two major trips at the end of the year.

Football looks ahead to road battle against Bates

By Henry Molot | October 4

In what has been a wild season for NESCAC football thus far, no team has established itself as a clear favorite.
