The Boston Bruins, in a game filled with action around the net, fell to the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 last Tuesday. "[We had] too many breakdowns," said center Patrice Bergeron. "But also I think we are forcing plays that we shouldn't and sometimes we're not in sync, we're not forcing where all guys go as a whole and together.
The Brandeis men's and women's track and field teams made a great start to the 2014 portion of their season at the Dartmouth Relays this past weekend. The men and women, squaring off against Division I competition that included teams from host Dartmouth College, Boston College and Harvard University, more than held their own. The men's squad placed ninth of 14 teams with six points, while the women took eighth. The highlight of the day was Vincent Asante's '14 third-place finish in the men's 60-meter dash.
The men's track and field team surged to a strong start in its first meet of the season on Saturday at the Boston University Season Opener, held in Boston, MA. The competition was a non-scoring event and team totals were not tabulated.

After being humbled by rival Babson College 78-47 in the first round of the Big 4 Challenge at Tufts University, the men's basketball squad could have chosen to hang its head for the tournament's consolation game. Instead, the team made a statement, defeating host Tufts 90-82 on its own court. Forward Alex Stoyle '14 credited the victory over the Jumbos to a change in the starting lineup. "I think it worked in our favor," he said.
It would have been enough for the No. 22 women's cross-country team to make it to the NCAA Division III Championships. Not this team. The squad, which began the year unranked and an afterthought on the national stage, capped a stellar season by gaining a bid to the NCAA Championships-held last Saturday in Hannover, Ind.-and finished in 22nd place out of 32 qualified teams. Led by Amelia Lundkvist '14, who finished 21st overall in 21 minutes, 50.3 seconds and earned All-American honors, the women's squad scored 517 points, a score which left them just 18 points behind University Athletic Association rival No.
Soccer can sometimes be a very cruel game. The No. 17 men's soccer team learned that the hard way on Saturday in its Sweet 16 NCAA Division III Tournament match against Williams College. Last year, after making the tournament for the first time in 27 years, the squad lost to Williams, 1-0, in the Sweet 16 round. On Saturday, for the second straight year at Amherst,-against the same opponent and in the same round-the team fell 2-0. This year, the Judges conceded an early goal and created a plethora of chances to tie the game but Williams delivered the coup de grace with seven minutes to play. The team ends its season with a 16-5-1 mark. Following the game, coach Michael Coven felt that his team deserved more from the match. "This loss really hurts, because I think we were a much better team [than Williams]," he explained.
While many of the other Brandeis sports teams have recently been making a name for themselves, the No.
The Boston Bruins have found a way to win games even when they're not in top form. Left wing Milan Lucic scored the decisive tally with less than two minutes left in overtime for a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets last Thursday night. "You know I was able to block a shot, a lucky bounce," Lucic said.
For the second straight season, the men's soccer team hosted the first two rounds of the NCAA Division III Tournament at Gordon Field. And, for the second straight season, the Judges advanced to the Round of 16 with back-to-back victories. After dominating Johnson & Wales University on Saturday by a score of 3-0, Brandeis beat Roger Williams University 1-0 on Sunday night. While Saturday's victory came rather easily, head coach Michael Coven was happy with the team's performance on Sunday. "I think we dominated play," he said.
