Men's soccer slips to No. 5 after Middlebury draw, remains undefeated

By Maddie Payne | October 12

Tufts ceded its first non-win of the season against Middlebury on Saturday with a frustrating 1–1 draw in double overtime. Tufts gave away a penalty less than two minutes into the game, briefly forcing the team on its back foot for the first time this season.

With these results, Tufts moved to 10–0–1 on the season but slipped from No. 3 to No. 5 in the national rankings.

III, it is widely touted that “academics come first,” and pursuing a sport beyond the collegiate level is uncommon and unexpected.
