After winning the first 10 games of their season, the Jumbos dropped to 10-1 and 6-1 within the NESCAC. The final score from Bello Field was 12-8 in what was the lowest-scoring game for the Jumbos so far this season. With goals from senior midfielder Peter Gill, sophomore attack Austin Carbone and junior midfielder Garrett Clarke, the Jumbos led by a score of 3-2 after the first quarter. From the tail end of the first through most of the third, however, Tufts was held score- less for a span of more than 28 minutes.
