While Tufts students have recently been closely following NESCAC playoffs in a wide variety of fall sports, the Tufts Club Fencing Team quietly kicked off its 2012?2013 campaign this weekend.

With a win at the NESCAC Championship in the bag, Tufts' top seven runners were given the week off to rehabilitate and prepare for the New England Championship. Coach Ethan Barron's decision to rest his top runners allowed the team's second seven runners to spearhead the Jumbos' performance at the ECAC Div. III Championship held last weekend at Williams College.

Volleyball | Jumbos swatted out of NESCAC tournament

Despite entering the NESCAC Tournament confident that it could pull off a first?round upset against No. 3 seed Bowdoin, the Tufts volleyball team lost in straight sets Friday night, struggling mightily against the potent Polar Bear attack. The Jumbos, who had lost their previous two matchups against Bowdoin this season, had difficulties maintaining consistency on the court, an issue that has plagued them all season.

For 110 minutes, Tufts went toe?to?toe with top?seeded Williams. However, there would be no Cinderella story for the Jumbos, who lost to the Ephs in penalty kicks after battling through regulation and overtime with neither team yielding a goal.

Field Hockey | Matchup with Bowdoin looms in NESCAC semifinals

For the No. 7 field hockey team, the road to a NESCAC championship almost always runs through Bowdoin. And even though it is No. 1 Middlebury that hosts this weekend's conference tournament, the Jumbos must first top the No. 6 Polar Bears on Saturday if they hope to advance to Sunday's finals, in which they will face either the host Panthers or fifth?seeded and No. 12 Amherst.

Heading into the last weekend of the regular season, five teams were top seed contenders in the NESCAC. Tufts had arguably the toughest path, with matchups against Williams and Middlebury in its last two games. And the schedule played out as expected: the Jumbos dropped both games, fell to 6?4 in the conference and settled for the sixth seed in this weekend's conference tournament, which will be hosted at Conn. College.

One down, one to go. That's the motto for the men's soccer team as it heads into its NESCAC tournament semifinal matchup at Williams. The shimmer of the NESCAC championship game is not enough to make the players lose focus on the game in front of them, especially when it's a game against the tournament's top?ranked team.

Colby and Tufts are both coming off lopsided losses. Both have struggled mightily to run the ball. And both have played much of this season with a first?year quarterback under center.
