The men’s club soccer team bounced-back this past week, seizing victory in two of its three match-ups.

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. At Connecticut College, the Judges took fifth place out of twenty teams, with the men’s Ryan Stender ’18 finishing third overall with an 8K time of 24:48.6, and women’s Emily Bryson ’19 finishing second, with a 6K time of 21:40.0. The previous weekend in Westfield, the Judges raced tremendously, finishing first overall out of 41 teams, with men finishing first and women in fourth. The past two weeks have been exciting, especially with the impressive performances of top runners Bryson and Stender. Due to his recent success, Stender received University Athletics Association Men’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week award, an honorable recognition of his dominance.
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. 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.
The women’s tennis team kick- started its season this weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology International Tennis Association regional tournament. The Judges were looking to improve from their mediocre 11-10 record from their 2015 campaign. Last season, the Judges struggled in the tournament, with only one player advancing past the first round when Keren Khromchenko ’19 was able to double-bagel her Smith College opponent. Aside from Khromchenko, the Judges were unable to slide past their tough competition.

He is putting himself in Cy Young contention a year after having perhaps the worst season year of his career.
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. 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.
