Softball | Full speed ahead for top-seeded softball team

Having already clinched the number one seed in the NESCAC East, the No. 8 Jumbos can now rest up, reflect on an outstanding regular season and make sure it heads into the upcoming NESCAC playoffs as fresh and healthy as can be. At least, that's what one might expect.

Men's Lacrosse | Not this time: Jumbos refuse to fall again to Polar Bears

Heading into Wednesday night's regular season finale against No. 13 Bowdoin, the No. 5 men's lacrosse team was determined to avoid a repeat of 2011. Like this year, the Jumbos had just locked up the No. 1 spot in the NESCAC last April when they traveled to Brunswick, Maine, and were upended 15-9 by the Polar Bears.

Baseball | Jumbos prepare to fight for playoff lives in Maine

This weekend in Maine, the baseball team's destiny will be decided in a three-game series against Bowdoin. The Jumbos, winners of the past two NESCAC championships, must win two of three games against the Polar Bears to move into second place in the NESCAC East division and earn a berth into the conference tournament.

Men's Lacrosse | Mix master: Music, lacrosse one and the same for Maggiore

On the night of Tuesday, April 10, the lights shone bright upon Bello Field. As the stars came out and the final seconds ticked off the clock in Tufts' 11?5 defeat of Endicott, the Jumbos rushed the field and collapsed into a dog pile in front of the cage. In the middle of the scrum was backup goalie Mike "Cheese" Maggiore, a sophomore who had just seen his first minutes of collegiate play.

Sam Gold | The OT

Plain and simple, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike Brown needs to monitor what's in the water at the Staples Center. Granted, the Bynum?Barea encounter during last year's playoffs did not occur during his tenure, but it must say something about the Lakers - admittedly rather unjustly - that the two most heinous on?court incidents of the past two seasons have involved their players.

Zach Drucker | The Loser

A wise, veteran sports journalist once told me that "sports are recession-proof." Even in times of economic crisis, sports remain a popular oasis for Americans. In this regard, sports are phenomena of society that reflect our love of leisure and our capitalistic nature. Yet, sports are becoming increasingly synonymous with one more concept: sex.
