Women's tennis rebounds in a big way versus Middlebury

The No. 17 women's tennis team on Saturday tended its two−match slide with a hard−fought victory against No. 15 Middlebury College. The NESCAC matchup raised Tufts' record to 11−5 overall and 6−2 in conference play. Despite losing two of their three doubles matches, the Jumbos rode a strong singles effort, in which they won five out of six matches, to clinch the win.

Alex Prewitt | Live from Mudville

A few months ago, during the college football season, I watched as former Notre Dame receiver Golden Tate put up an absurd 244 yards in a 37−30 win over Washington on Oct. 3. On nine catches, Tate abused the Huskies defense — OK, maybe this isn't quite the feat, but 244 yards is 244 yards no matter what, especially given that the most Washington gave up all year to any individual receiver besides that was 138 — which prompted me to turn to my friend and boldly predict that Tate would have a better pro career than quarterback Jimmy Clausen. This statement was immediately met with disdain and shouts, and I was banned from talking for the rest of the afternoon.

Baseball | Jumbos pound Corsairs in doubleheader sweep

Coming off an impressive sweep of NESCAC rival Trinity over the weekend, the baseball team had no desire to let non-conference foe UMass Dartmouth take away its momentum on Monday. But the Jumbos (19-3 overall, 7-1 NESCAC East) did not need to worry, as they rolled right over the Corsairs (14-11) and extended their winning streak to nine games.
