The men’s tennis team returned to action this weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Invitational. This marks an unusual feature of the tennis season relative to the other collegiate sports, which normally run continuously through a series of months in one particular season. Tennis, however, is year-round, stretching from September to April, and also contains a four-month interlude from October to February between official matches. This unique schedule presents opportunities and challenges for the team. On the one hand, it allows the team to get a sense of how they stack up against other top ranked teams, which allows them to make adjustments to specific problems. At the same time, however, such a long layoff has the potential to zap any semblance of momentum generated from a strong start.

Times keep getting tougher for the men’s soccer team. After two straight crushing double-overtime losses against Babson College and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, respectively, the Judges were hoping to get back on track with a big win against longtime cross-town rival Tufts University.

Aside from Khromchenko, the Judges were unable to slide past their tough competition.

After what seemed to be a record setting start to the women’s season, the Judges have further proven this week that they are not a team to mess with.
