The commonwealth of Massachusetts has a responsibility to its citizens and the world at large to reduce its reliance on carbon-based sources of energy. So far, this environmental mandate is being implemented in the form of renewable portfolio standards and renewable fuel standards.

Within the energy market, suppliers are required to increase their acquisition of renewable sources of energy as a part of their overall portfolio. Currently, suppliers must increase their clean energy supplies at a rate of one percent on an annual basis. In other words, energy suppliers must reduce their reliance on carbon-based energy platforms at a rate of one percent per year as a part of their compliance to RPS regulations.

The Brandeis men’s tennis team entered Friday’s matchup as the number 20 Division III school in the nation. They had a 5-1 record and their only loss came at the hands of a Pamona-Pitzer squad that was ranked at 14. They had also defeated ranked opponent Bates College. Their season looked incredibly promising, but they were about to face their biggest task yet. Middlebury College was at the time the third ranked men’s team in the country and was showing no signs of slowing down. Had the Judges beaten the vaunted Panthers, it would have changed the course of their season and elevated the team to the company of those considered the nation’s top teams.

Brandeis fell to 5-2 on the season, while the Panthers continued their perfect season and improved to 5-0.
