by Henry Loughlin | 08/26/2013

After a 27-year absence from the NCAA Division III Tournament, the No. 12 men's soccer squad did much more than just qualify for the top collegiate competition.

"I think we'll be OK," said Coven.

The men's and women's cross-country squads didn't finish as well as they would have hoped at last year's New England Division III Championships. However, given some of the improvements made by the runners, particularly in the track seasons, the Judges could once again become a formidable force. "The women's team had no seniors last year," said Amelia Lundkvist '14, "so it's nice to have most everyone back at this point.
