Their first ever! The #4 Jumbos beat #11 ranked Amherst a second time this season for the title.

Isn't it about time that one of the many Div II or Div I schools in Greater Boston recruit this fine young coach as at least an assistant wcbb coach?

Very happy for her and I hope she and the team do well in their big dance. Always one of my favorites...then again the list is longer than my sleeve, and still growing.
Doing UCONN, Geno and the staff proud! Congrats and GO JUMBOS !!!

Here is a bit on how they got their unique mascot.

It is in the Goddard Chapel at Tufts that our nephew is getting married this coming Saturday with my wife presiding. I hope the campus is filled with excitement for the team.

Who says they haven't?

Nescac coaching jobs are very good gigs. Pay is good, the kids are very smart, and there is limited recruiting. I definitely cannot imagine leaving that for div 2. And div 1 only if you were really ambitious to be a big time coach.

I think I saw somewhere an interview where she voiced reluctance to move up or away at the present time - not unlike Jen. The right job for their current priorities in life sort of thing.

I had lunch with her, a couple years ago now that I think about it, and I got the impression she was very comfortable where she was. I'm sure some people in her position see it as a stepping stone for a D1 job, but that wasn't the impression I received.

#4 Jumbos avoided a huge upset, edging unranked New England 57-54 in OT in NCAA 2nd round. Game won on a buzzer-beating 3.

Next up (almost surely at home) vs unranked Castleton St (VT) in the sweet 16.

The winner of that game faces the winner of #11 Amherst vs Ithaca.
