No lead is safe.
The members of the women's soccer team meant business when they dug their cleats into Kraft Field on Sunday for the first round of the NESCAC Tournament. The Jumbos jumped all over the Conn. College Camels to take a 6-0 first round victory, their second win over the Camels in 22 hours.
From Sept. 15 to Oct. 9, the women's soccer team rattled off eight straight wins on its way to the top of the NESCAC, priming itself for a postseason run.
It's scary to think that an entire season could rest on one flip of a coin.
The men's soccer team may have been honoring its seniors Tuesday, but it was a freshman who stole the show.
Despite suffering an upset loss to conference rival Trinity last Saturday, the women's soccer team still had a chance to take over first place in the NESCAC by beating Williams on Saturday.
Heading into this Saturday's crucial contest with Williams, the men's soccer team needed a win to stay ahead of Colby in the NESCAC standings and secure a playoff berth.
Last weekend, a tough loss to Trinity dropped the Jumbos to second place in the NESCAC. Tomorrow, a monumental win over Williams will boost them right back to the top spot.
On the day it celebrated the careers of seven seniors, the women's soccer team was reminded that its future is bright.
The goals keep on coming for freshman forward Alex Lach.
The women's soccer team won its eighth consecutive game on Tuesday, and for the eighth consecutive time, sophomore Cara Cadigan was a difference-maker.
The men's soccer team came into Saturday's critical game against Trinity needing a win to stay in contention for a NESCAC playoff berth. Thanks to the career day of a rookie forward, it left in control of its own destiny.
The women's soccer team finally encountered an opponent it couldn't overcome - luck.
With the men's soccer season nearing its climax and the Jumbos clinging to the NESCAC Tournament bubble, every conference game is more crucial than ever.
The men's soccer team fell into a tie with Colby for the seventh and final spot in the NESCAC Tournament with yesterday's 2-0 loss to Wesleyan in Middletown, Conn.
With only one loss on the season and boasting a six-game winning streak, the women's soccer team has had several impressive victories to be proud of this season. But it wasn't until Saturday's 4-1 Homecoming win over Bowdoin that the team was finally satisfied with its play over the course of a full game.
Despite the enormous crowd presence at Kraft Field on Saturday afternoon, the men's soccer team could not muster the second-half comeback needed to overcome Bowdoin, falling by a final score of 2-1.
October is here, and no group is happier about the changing of the calendar page than the men's soccer team.
In the 2006 version of tomorrow's Homecoming game, the Bowdoin Polar Bears hobbled to an early one-goal deficit and dropped their fifth game in a row.
