February 23

With February swiftly drawing to a close, the 30 NHL teams are beginning to look ahead to the Stanley Cup playoffs just six weeks away. For some teams, this is an exciting time, as players and coaches prepare to make a final push toward a playoff berth and a shot at the most famous trophy in sport. For others, it's a time of uncomfortable realization — the bitter moment of truth when an organization must concede that this is not, in fact, their year.

Brian Rowe | Calls the Shots

February 22

The San Francisco Giants, because they won last year and are primed for their young talent to continue to improve this year. No wait, the Red Sox because they had the biggest offseason, and Jon Lester will win the AL Cy Young. But what about the Yankees, who re−signed their captain and are a threat every year? The Phillies, and their J.D. Power and Associates Highest Rated Pitching Staff award? The Pirates and their … wait, never mind.

Women's Squash | Tufts ends season with Colby, Vassar upsets

February 22

For the women's squash team, a season full of close losses and shutouts was unsurprising given the inexperienced squad, whose starting nine consisted of just one senior and three rookie players, two of whom had barely picked up a squash racket before the season began.

Ice Hockey | Seniors close with split weekend

February 22

To finish off what has been an up−and−down and at times disappointing regular season, the ice hockey team went on a road trip to Vermont, where it faced conference foes St. Michael's and Norwich. Much like the rest of its season, Tufts' results were mixed: a 6−3 defeat to Norwich on Feb. 19 and a 5−3 victory over St. Michael's on Feb. 18, which left the team's final season record at 6−16−1.

Women's Swimming and Diving | Third's a charm: Women's swim earns bronze at NESCACs

February 21

After the first five events at this weekend's NESCAC Tournament at Williams College, the women's swimming and diving team was in first place, ahead of both Amherst, which has finished in second place three years running, and the host Ephs, who have won every conference title since the NESCAC's inception. Yet toppling the two conference goliaths ultimately proved too tall an order for a Tufts team that had to be content, at least for now, with finishing third.

Jumbos look to avenge loss against Williams

February 17

As the NESCAC quarterfinals approach, the women's basketball team is looking ahead to its matchup in the 4 vs. 5 game with No. 22 Williams. Unfortunately, that means looking back over and over again at the game film of a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Ephs earlier in the year that came on a simply miraculous tip?in just before the buzzer.
