The Cricket World Cup, which opens in February, just reached its 100-day countdown mark last week, so I thought I would review the teams and give my predictions for the cup.
Fresh off its best season in a decade and its most successful campaign since joining the NESCAC in 2001−02, the ice hockey team isn't ready to let up just yet.
With graduations, transfers and injuries, teams rarely look the same from year to year. A team's star player one year often gives way to a gaping hole in the squad the next.
Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton suited up this past Saturday. He threw for 148 yards, and two touchdowns and ran for another 151 yards and two touchdowns against Georgia. Altogether, it was a pretty average day for arguably the best collegiate quarterback in the country.
The national No. 12 women's sailing team this weekend traveled to Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Fla. to compete in the Atlantic Coast Championships (ACCs) — its final fall regatta — and did not leave disappointed.
Question: How does the men's basketball team, with just four NESCAC wins in the past three seasons, deal with the graduation of its only three players who started all 23 games in 2009−10?
The 333 runners that stepped up to the starting line at the NCAA New England Regional cross country meet on Saturday shared one goal: securing their team's bid to the NCAA Div. III Championship this weekend. But the Tufts men's team came up just short of making the cut.

In their second round matchup with NESCAC rival Middlebury, the Jumbos squandered two leads, including a 2-1 advantage gained on junior Lindsay Griffith's fourth goal of the season, eventually falling to a strong Panthers squad by a score of 3-2. See tomorrow's Daily for full coverage.

This time around, leaving Pennsylvania on a losing note is no longer an option.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones yesterday finally fired head coach Wade Phillips. All it took was a 45-7 thrashing at the hands of the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
The story is all too familiar. With the regular season almost over, the No. 3 Texas Christian Horned Frogs and the No. 4 Boise State Broncos remain undefeated. Their top players are shining, their track records are flawless, and their wins are convincing. And yet, because they play in non-BCS conferences, they will likely be excluded from the National Championship Game — just like last year.
The women's fencing team sliced its way through the competition in this weekend's "The Big One" Invitational at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy hosted the regatta on the Thames River, which saw great sailing conditions throughout the weekend. In a highly competitive field, the coed team came in sixth of 12 while local rival Boston College — the No. 1-ranked team in the nation — placed first overall.
Perhaps this year's biggest offseason news to both casual and diehard NHL fans was the re-signing of New Jersey Devils star Ilya Kovalchuk. The first attempt from the Devils, a deal for $102 million over 17 years, was nixed by the NHL for violating the league's contract rules.
