MIT took third with 93 points.
The men's cross country team ran its way to victory on Saturday at the Connecticut College Invitational in Waterford, Conn. In a field of 225 competitors at Harkness Memorial State Park, the Jumbos' top five runners placed within 30 seconds of each other and in the top 20 overall.

Two weeks ago, the football team was on the wrong end of a broken streak when Bates beat Tufts for the first time since 1985. Tomorrow, the Jumbos have a shot at turning the tables when they visit the Trinity Bantams, winners of 36 straight at Jessee/Miller Field, for the chance to move to .500 and snap the Bantams' nine−year unblemished home mark.

The Tufts women's tennis team fell to longtime rival Williams this weekend in a non-league fall match at Wesleyan. The Jumbos have historically been outplayed by the Ephs on a regular basis, though they put up a good fight in May at the NCAA Round of 16, losing a close 5-4 match, which was particularly impressive considering that then-freshman Lindsay Katz, who played No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles, was unable to play due to an ankle injury.
