The men’s club soccer team bounced-back this past week, seizing victory in two of its three match-ups. Though the team was unable to hold on to a late lead against top-ranked University of Chicago on Friday, their strong play in the double-overtime loss provides some encouragement moving forward. The squad may finally be finding its footing as its schedule is set to ease up and its focus grows increasingly fixated on capturing that elusive National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament berth.

The Brandeis men's and women’s cross country team had a strong performance for its two most recent outings: Oct. 15 at Connecticut College and Oct. 8 at James Earley Invitational in Westfield, Mass.

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.

Unfortunately, the squad was unable to regain its footing at home, losing its third straight double-overtime contest and failing to net even a single goal. The team is falling fast after a strong start to the season, and its chances of postseason play appear to be slowly slipping away.

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.
