Men's Soccer | New coach, same story: Tufts drops opener to Middlebury 1-0

September 12

With beautiful conditions at Kraft Field, a new coach at the helm and a renewed spirit among the players, the men's soccer team was optimistic that it would erase the memories of a disappointing 2009 season in Saturday's season−opening match against Middlebury College. And despite losing a 1−0 decision to the Panthers for the second straight year, the Jumbos remain confident that they are moving in the right direction.

Women's Soccer Season Preview | Aspirations high for NESCAC championship

September 8

For the past two seasons, the women's soccer team has been on the brink of the NESCAC's top tier. In 2008, a heartbreaking shootout in the conference quarterfinals ended its run, while in 2009, overtime struggles during the regular season led to a fourth seed in the NESCAC tournament and an eventual semifinal exit against top−seeded Williams.

Welcome to the NESCAC

August 31

Welcome to the NESCAC, the strongest Div. III conference in the country and home to national powerhouses across the board. The 11 members of the New England Small College Athletic Conference, including Tufts, took a combined six 2009-10 national championships: Tufts in men's lacrosse, Williams in women's tennis and crew, Trinity in men's squash, Amherst in women's hockey and Middlebury in men's tennis. In addition, NESCAC schools took four of the top six spots in the final Directors' Cup standings: Williams (1st), Amherst (2nd), Middlebury (4th) and Tufts (6th). Any Div. III athletic knowledge starts and ends with the NESCAC; so without further ado, the Daily brings you a brief look at the 10 other schools that share a conference with the Jumbos.

The AFC East has recently belonged to the New England Patriots.

Men's Lacrosse | Men's lacrosse captures first conference title

May 22

A school record for victories, a one-loss season and the No. 2 seed in the conference — all of these things had already been achieved by the men's lacrosse team as it headed into the NESCAC Tournament. But it still had one final acknowledgement missing from its résumé: a NESCAC title. That is, until May 9.

Baseball | Baseball earns first NESCAC title since 2002

May 22

The baseball team had every excuse if it lost the NESCAC championship game two weeks ago. The Jumbos had completed a rain-suspended game that was resumed at 9 a.m. that day, and despite not having lost in the double-elimination tournament, Tufts was forced to take part in a one-game championship playoff against Bowdoin — a team that had already fallen once in the tournament — because of the change in schedule.

Softball | Year ends with quick exit from conference tournament

May 22

Last year, the softball team graduated eight seniors, including seven everyday players and one of its two starting pitchers. But the Jumbos refused to write this season off as a rebuilding year, and despite an early exit from the NESCAC Tournament, they still earned a NESCAC East regular-season crown and have a lot to look forward to in the years to come.

Tufts catches World Cup fever

May 22

Rising sophomore Phil Teves is a self-proclaimed sports hater. Ask him about almost any sport, from baseball to football, and he will have an opinion about just how boring and pointless it is. But there is one sporting event that even Teves cannot ignore: the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

I came to Tufts in the fall of 2006; granted, I didn't travel very far from my home in Marblehead, Mass., but it was still new for me.
