April 12Both the Tufts baseball team (15−3 overall, 5−1 NESCAC East) and the visiting Colby Mules (9−8 overall, 0−6 NESCAC East) entered this weekend's NESCAC East matchup having played excellent baseball over the previous couple of weeks; Tufts came in with eight wins in its last nine games, while Colby was riding a six−game winning streak.

Women's Lacrosse | Tufts continues to climb rankings with win over No. 4 Trinity
April 11It seems as though the women's lacrosse team is well on its way back to the top of the NESCAC, beating the previously undefeated and nationally ranked No. 4 Trinity Bantams 11−9 on Saturday in Hartford, Conn. With the upset — their sixth win in a row — the No. 12 Jumbos improve to 7−2 overall and 4−2 in conference play. The loss knocked the Bantams into second in the conference, and not only secured Tufts a place in the ensuing NESCAC tournament, but kept its hopes of hosting the playoffs alive.

Men's Lacrosse | Victory over Trinity gives Tufts best start in team history
April 11After grinding out a 9−5 win over Trinity this Saturday, the men's lacrosse team has reached uncharted ground. While last year a road loss to the Bantams ended Tufts' eight−game winning steak to start the season, this season the Jumbos were able to beat their conference rivals and, as a result, have reached a nine−game winning streak for the first time in team history — or at least as far back as 1946, when the athletics department began archiving games.

III team in New England on Tuesday night, dominating opponents Bates in the final three quarters on its way to a 12−6 victory.
