Lacrosse Softball Jumbos remain undefeated at 33-0 by Alison Kuah Sports Editor

In 1995, when coach Cheryl Milligan was a player on Tufts’ softball team, she and her teammates finished the season with what was then a record-breaking 31 wins. Twenty years later, with five games left to play in their regular season, the Jumbos have already surpassed that mile- stone with 33 wins. Despite playing argu- ably their toughest stretch of the regular season thus far — with 11 games in eight days — the team’s unblemished record remained intact as it rolled to 33-0 for the season and maintained its No. 1 national ranking. “We’re all pretty tired at this point, we’re about halfway through the long stretch of games that we have, and we’re trying to keep the whole one-day-at-a-time men- tality, [looking at] the previous day, [then] the next day,” senior Bri Keenan said.
