Spring Cleaning
Though it didn’t seem like it Saturday, according to the Tufts athletics calendar, spring is here!
With temps in the 30s and a chilly bite to the wind, the Tufts Jumbos women’s lacrosse team opened their season by hosting Hamilton at Bello Field in Medford. Both teams are nationally ranked, with No. 14 Tufts facing No. 7 Hamilton coming into the contest evenly matched. It played out as one would expect, with both teams battling. In the end, it came down to Tufts scoring 5 of the last 6 goals to come back from what was at one point a 6-3 deficit, to win 8-7. The game-winning goal was scored with 45 seconds left.
Even though I’m just now beginning to thaw out, it sure felt good to be shooting outdoor sports again. Here’s some pics from the game.
