NESCAC Strong
Today marks the two week anniversary of the Boston bombings. As a runner and lifelong New England resident, the horrific events hit close to home – the fact that I had two senior teammates cheering and many others I knew competing (all of whom were uninjured) at the marathon that day made everything seem much [...]
Trinity Women’s Lax continues to dominate
While most Bantams have kissed their social lives goodbye and begun the search for a finals hideaway spot, the Trinity Women’s Lacrosse team still has plenty of reason to celebrate. Solidifying their lead among the NESCACs, Trinity added another “W” to their perfect record this past weekend (15-0 overall and 11-0 in the NESCAC), beating [...]
Another Trophy For The NESCAC Case

Amherst Ends Williams’ 12-Year Swimming Championship Streak
Many athletic feats in the ‘Cac tend to go unnoticed (by us and others) simply because certain sports are dominated year-to-year by the same school; Trin runs the squash courts, Tufts dominates at lax, and Williams wins basically everything else–especially swimming and diving. The first NESCAC Swimming and Diving Championship was held in 2001, and, [...]

Sugar we’re going down swimming…
27 Tufts Lax Men Temporarily Suspended
Back in October we addressed an incident involving Tufts men’s lacrosse players’ offensive heckling at a Tufts vs. Smith volleyball game. The events were first laid out in an op-ed by Rose Barrett ’14. In our dissection of the meaning of sexual entitlement, this instance represented the 3rd definition of entitlement: “to confer a title of [...]
