Moments ‘til Madness: What’s Shaping the Season Ahead

By Owen Short | September 24

The first tip-off of the 2025–26 college basketball season comes on Nov. 3. With just under six weeks left, the excitement leading up to opening day is starting to build up. Still, we don’t have official preseason rankings, schedules are being finalized and, apparently, the coaching carousel is still taking its course. While we wait for the actual basketball to start, these are the offseason storylines I found to be interesting and also important for this year of college hoops.

Love to Hate: Matthew Tkachuk

By Brian Becker | September 22

When the New Jersey Devils Fanatics Instagram page graced my feed last night, crying out to the world that there was only one more week left until hockey returns to Newark’s Prudential Center, I knew I had to write about the NHL, and about one player in particular. This player — a clear locker room presence, cheapshotting players left and right, blowing up group chats by angering opposing fans and, yes, a back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion — has certainly been a complete thrill to watch as a neutral fan.

Men’s soccer drops NESCAC opener to Williams

By Max Druckman | September 10

For the Tufts men’s soccer team, waiting was certainly a difficult element of their NESCAC opener against No. 10 Williams on Saturday. Due to lightning, the game was delayed for over two hours just after the second half began, a memorable interlude in a game that otherwise lacked memorable moments for the Jumbos.

Love To Hate: Daniil Medvedev

By Brian Becker | September 2

Sports are defined by moments. Moments captivate us, anger us and most importantly, entertain us. With the rise in short-form content, such moments are only increasingly consumed by the masses all over social media. Moments in sports are critical to defining our fandoms, and our opinions formed from them define our views of the players.

‘All gas, no brakes:’ Sofia Gonzalez leaves it on the Cousens floor

By Riley Daniel | May 15

When someone’s career profile reads off with top 20 spots in program history in 3-pointers made and points scored, two All-NESCAC seasons and two third team D3hoops.com All-Region 1 acknowledgements, one expects to hear about a journey that was as smooth as the drive down Route 66. Yet, for graduating senior Sofia Gonzalez, this road was windy and unpredictable, but it still left her with everything she could have wanted from her collegiate experience.

Senior Profile: Ethan Feigin leaves a legacy of selflessness, grit and dedication on Tufts men’s soccer

By Bharat Singh | May 14

A lone white shirt wrestled through a sea of defenders, deftly maneuvering the ball while shrugging off a host of aggressive tackles. Despite his shirt being pulled, the young 5-foot-6-inch winger was unfazed, keeping balance and gliding past his markers before threading a pass to graduating senior forward Anthony Bhangdia, whose shot was deflected back into play and into the path of the tenacious winger who pounced on the loose ball and buried it in the bottom right corner.

Beyond the baseline: The Tufts men’s tennis Class of 2025

By Thomas Leung | May 13

For Tufts men’s tennis seniors Vuk Vuksanovic, Derin Acaroglu and Lachie Macintosh[a], the past four years have been about more than sets, stats and standings. Together, they’ve helped build one of the most competitive tennis programs in the country, and along the way, they’ve grown into leaders, teammates and friends whose legacy will be felt long after their last matches are played.

A hat tip to the seniors of Tufts Club Baseball

By Max Druckman, Ilan Tauber, Ben Goldberg and Elliot Smith-Chauss | May 12

Baltimore Orioles’ Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson once said, “Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else.” For young baseball players who matriculate to Tufts and try out for the club baseball team, it is the squad’s seniors, not the professional players in the lofty heights of Major League Baseball, who serve as their role models. In recognition of those seniors’ immense contributions to the program over their four years at Tufts, some of the team’s underclassmen wanted to pay tribute.
