The women's cross country team finished the Conn. College Invitational with a third−place result out of 17 squads on a windy day at Harkness Memorial State Park.

The field hockey team stepped off Campus Avenue Field at Bates on Sunday afternoon victorious, having won both of its NESCAC conference games this weekend against the Williams Ephs at home and the Bobcats on the road.

The women's volleyball team just keeps on rolling, finishing this weekend with two more crucial NESCAC victories to ensure a top two finish in the conference and match the squad's longest winning streak of the season.
Jay Civetti wasn't thinking about playing his former school. Honestly.
Trinity marched into Saturday's Homecoming game as the cream of the NESCAC crop, owning a 3−0 record, averaging over 25 points per game and fresh off a 35−0 drubbing of Hamilton, a team that beat Tufts in Week 1.
In the midst of another sans−Mets postseason, I thought I might reflect on the state of the New York Mets organization. Currently, sitting through a "Mutts" game has been like watching Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in "Righteous Kill" (2008). Sure, someone grossly overpaid to put a couple critically acclaimed actors together, but "Righteous Kill" ain't winning any Oscars.
For many reasons, Saturday's Homecoming game against the Trinity Bantams provides a huge opportunity for the football team.
As the European leagues have been off the last two weeks because of the international break, I thought I would turn my attention to a topic that has been the focus of the American soccer world over the last month: the hiring of former German star player and manager JürgenKlinsmann as the manager of the U.S. Men's National Team.

If you're an NFL fan and also one of Time Warner Cable's 14 million customers nationwide, you're getting squeezed out of the greatest revolution in how we consume sports since the advent of the Internet, rivaled only by the rise of high−definition television.
As Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me" echoes through the Hill Hall Aerobics Room, five ponytails flop back and forth as girls organize their exercise balls, mats and weights on the dance floor.
In the past few years, the number of women on the Tufts co−ed club water polo team has been on the rise. There were three in 2009, five in 2010, and this year the 30−person roster consists of 10 women. With this surge in interest, the women of the Tufts club water polo team — spearheaded by juniors MaddieMayerson and KJ Kroetch — have taken it upon themselves to work on starting their own squad.
For the second time this season, junior Matt Rand earned the title of NESCAC men's cross country Performer of the Week, this time for his finish at the All New England Championships on Saturday.
