Tufts volleyball improved its record to 9-4 by winning two out of three games this weekend. The Jumbos started their NESCAC campaign at Cousens Gymnasium with wins against Trinity on Friday night and Wesleyan on Saturday. They fell to visiting Roger Williams in the final game of the weekend, taking New England's top-ranked team to five sets.
There were two clear takeaways from the NESCAC's first-ever night game at Wesleyan on Saturday. One: The Cardinals' offense is deadly. Two: Tufts has a long way to go.
The women's soccer team pulled off its second win of the season and its first non-conference win against Wheaton on Wednesday afternoon. The Jumbos dominated the first half with two goals and 13 shots and did not back down in the second half, even after a goal by Wheaton in the 66th minute.
The No. 2 field hockey team, which received five first-place votes in this week's NFHCA poll, continued its smooth start with a conference win on the road this past Tuesday. Tufts took down Wesleyan, 3-0, outshooting the Cardinals 19-6 and finishing the day with 12 penalty corner opportunities.
After dropping the first set on Wednesday night against Western New England, the volleyball team rallied to take a 3-1 victory and hand the Golden Bears their first loss of the season.
They arrived at Fenway Park with 15 games left and a greater than 15 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to Baseball Prospectus. They left Boston on Sunday with just over a four percent shot at the postseason, 2 and 1/2 games back with a dozen remaining and the Royals, Orioles, Indians and Rangers in their way.

Given that last season was one of its most successful campaigns in recent memory, the men's soccer team wanted to start this year with a bang and prove that a winning culture has been permanently established on Kraft Field.
Depending on which player you ask about the Jumbos' intrasquad scrimmage on Bello Field Friday, you might hear that it started out great or that it started out ugly. Both would be correct.
The No. 2 field hockey team notched two more victories last week, extending its home winning streak to 11 as the Jumbos soundly defeated the visiting Babson Beavers 4-2 on Tuesday before finishing off conference rival Colby in a 3-0 decision Saturday.
Opening Day. The first night football game in NESCAC history. A chance to avenge a bad loss from last season. An opportunity to get a win for the first time in a long time.
