Women's Tennis | Jumbos fall to Ephs, but Browne remains victorious

The Tufts women's tennis team fell to longtime rival Williams this weekend in a non-league fall match at Wesleyan. The Jumbos have historically been outplayed by the Ephs on a regular basis, though they put up a good fight in May at the NCAA Round of 16, losing a close 5-4 match, which was particularly impressive considering that then-freshman Lindsay Katz, who played No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles, was unable to play due to an ankle injury.

Women's Soccer | Smart substitutions help Tufts extend streak

During a soccer game, substitutions are arguably the most important decisions a coach has to make. Tufts head coach Martha Whiting handled this aspect of the game masterfully yesterday, inserting freshman forward Anya Kaufman midway through the first half. Less than two minutes after entering the game, Kaufman scored her first collegiate goal, which was enough for a 1-0 non-conference win over Endicott.

Sailing | Tufts takes a beating from nation's top squads

In the least successful outing of the season thus far, neither the co-ed nor the women's sailing team could carry the winning momentum from strong performances in late September to this weekend's regattas, as both squads faltered amid tough conditions and highly competitive fields.

Inside the NFL | Moss moves from frigid Northeast to frigid Midwest

In April 2007, Brett Favre was preparing for what would be his final season with the Green Bay Packers and intently watching that spring's NFL Draft, hoping that general manager Ted Thompson would complete a trade with the Oakland Raiders for wide receiver Randy Moss. Three years later — and with a Minnesota Vikings uniform now on his back — Favre finally has his long-cherished target.

Avinash Asthana | Switch Hit

The grand stadiums are ready, cricketing merchandise is selling like hotcakes, tickets have been sold out four months in advance and the talks around the water cooler more often than not are gravitating toward that elusive question: "Who will win The Ashes this time around?" Yes, folks, it's that time of the year. The most eagerly anticipated Ashes series in recent memory kicks off with the English team landing in Brisbane, Australia, this November.
