Club crumbles in double overtime

(09/26/16 11:39pm)

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. 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 an excellent 5-0 start to the first two weeks of the season, the Judges have continued their pattern of dominance, bringing the hammer to Eastern Connecticut State University on Tuesday and coming from behind to beat Wentworth Institute of Technology 2-1 on Thursday. A phenomenally coached team led by forward Lea McDaniel ’17 and keeper Alexis Grossman ’17, the Judges seem to be on their way to a historic season.
