Women’s lacrosse takes first loss in battle against No. 1

By Leanna DeSousa | April 16

This past Saturday, the most anticipated matchup in Division III women’s lacrosse took place in Middlebury, Vt. as the then undefeated No. 2 Tufts traveled to take on the No. 1 Middlebury College. Winning the last three NCAA titles, Middlebury is the only obstacle standing in the way of Tufts dominating the division with an undefeated record this season and now 64-game win streak. The last time that the Middlebury team lost was May 8, 2022 against Tufts in the NESCAC Championship.

Women’s lacrosse dominates in top-five matchup

By Leanna DeSousa | April 2

On Saturday, No.2 Tufts took on No.5 Colby College at home on Bello Field. Both teams came onto the field undefeated. Despite having a slower start than usual, the Jumbos were able to extend their now nine-game win streak, their dominance in Division III lacrosse remaining untouchable. In an email to the Daily, junior attacker Allie Zorn wrote “We’ve been really active in the ride which has gotten us a lot of opportunities back and of course, Genna Gibbons has been giving us so much possession from the draw — it makes our lives on offense much easier.”

On Saturday, the Tufts women’s basketball team — seeded sixth in the conference — kicked off their post season play by traveling to Hartford, CT to take on No. 3 seed Trinity College. Three weeks ago, the Jumbos played their last home game against the Bantams, earning a 68–59 victory on their senior day. The team was looking to achieve a similar result in the quarterfinal game. However, despite the team’s intense tenacity, Tufts fell short.
