Coming into the match, Wesleyan was 8-1 and unde- feated in NESCAC play. The Jumbos played with composure throughout the entire match, despite trading sets, and fought hard to keep every set close. In the end, Tufts had the greater ener- gy and execution in the fifth set and jumped out to a commanding 7-2 lead early. The Jumbos never relinquished their lead, as they cruised to a 15-8 set win to seal the match. Despite missing a key contributor in first-year middle hitter/opposite Christina Nwankpa, who explained that she has missed the last three games due to illness, the team continues to mesh well and gain momentum. The team’s depth has been an asset thus far this year, as they have been able to throw a multitude of different line- ups at their opponents. Thus far, only Bell has played in every match, though six Jumbos have played in 12 out of 13. The shuffling of players through the lineup does not seem to have disrupted the team’s play.

FOOTBALL Jumbos hope to stay undefeated away against Polar Bears by Sam Weitzman Contributing Writer

After a second straight comeback win on home turf, the football team (2-0) is ready to take its show on the road. On Saturday, the Jumbos will travel to Brunswick, Maine to square off against the Bowdoin Polar Bears (0-2). The 12-7 Homecoming victory over the Bates Bobcats (0-2) may have been closer than coach Jay Civetti would have liked, but he still sees plenty of reasons for optimism this week, starting with how the team has practiced. “I’m a firm believer that games are won or lost before they’re played,” Civetti said. “Going into a hostile environment is always a challenge and you’ve got to stay focused. Hopefully, our road mentality and our road warrior mindset starts us off on the right foot on Saturday.” In last year’s contest at the Ellis Oval, Tufts routed Bowdoin, 43-24. Much of the Jumbos’ success that day came because of current senior tri-captain running back Chance Brady, who gained 123 yards on just 14 carries to go along with three touchdowns. Brady’s per carry average of 8.8 was slightly skewed by a 27-yard run, but he consistently broke off chunk gains throughout the contest. “In general, we’re always looking to [improve] as a team,” senior left guard Alex Kim added. “We never settle for average.
