Welcome to the New England Small College Athletic Conference, an elite group of Div. III sports teams more commonly referred to as the NESCAC. In the 2012-13 season, NES- CAC teams combined for seven NCAA Championships ― Williams men’s and women’s tennis and women’s rowing, Trinity men’s squash, Amherst men’s basketball, and Tufts field hockey and softball. The NESCAC also holds four of the top 10 spots in the Directors’ Cup standings — Williams (1st), Middlebury (3rd), Amherst (6th), and Tufts (8th). In prepa- ration for another promising year of competition, the Daily presents the NESCAC.

Williams Ephs

Location: Williamstown, Massachusetts On the Field: Williams dominated the NESCAC last year, winning the conference title in eight sports and finishing runner-up in another seven. The women’s track and field team won 12 straight NESCAC titles from 2001-12 and has taken 18 of the last 20.

That’s because Mr. Amherst may or may not have approved a plan in 1763 to give blankets infected with smallpox to Native Americans. (Spoiler alert: He did, in fact, do that.)
