NESCAC Women's Basketball Preview

November 19

With the arrival of the month of November comes a few certainties: The sun sets earlier than most would prefer, stiff winds bring the leaves to the ground and NESCAC women's basketball tips off another intriguing season. The NESCAC is one of the most competitive conferences in all of women's Div. III basketball, and last season was no exception. The conference sent three teams — Amherst, Bowdoin and Tufts — to the NCAA Tournament last winter, and the Jumbos advanced as far as the Elite Eight. With plenty of returning talent, as well as a few new faces, the 2008-09 season promises to be just as exciting as the previous one. A look at where each of Tufts' conference foes stands heading into this year:

Repeat offender: Jumbos fall in five-set semifinal play for second consecutive weekend to end record-breaking season

November 16

The volleyball team came within four points of a trip to the NCAA Regional finals, but it couldn't muster enough offense to put a win in the books and, instead, watched its record-breaking season come to an end Friday night.
