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.

I am a Knicks fan. I don't like the Knicks. This is a crucial distinction to make. I haven't liked the Knicks since I was eight years old, when Patrick Ewing's dunk in Game 7 against the Heat sent them to the Eastern Conference Finals. Since then, I'm not sure they've done a single thing right.

The greats all had this ability in common: Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Reggie Miller. It is a self?learned skill and talent, and few can truly succeed in making it work. The art of trash talking is born out of supreme confidence and competitiveness, but the execution of where and when is key. It starts at a young age, from when kids play with their friends and take shots at each other. It begins with playful chatter and progresses to aggressive challenges - from a simple "You can't go left on me" to Muhammad Ali's "I am the greatest."
