Medford/Somerville, Mass. - For the second time in three years, the Tufts University women's soccer team is the NCAA New England Region Champion. Head coach Martha Whiting's team posted a 3-1 victory over Wheaton College in the NCAA Tournament Regional final at Middlebury College on Sunday (Nov. 5). Tufts, whose 16-3-1 record marks the most victories in the program's 22-year history, now advances to the NCAA National Quarterfinals - the elite eight. As the New England Region champion, the Jumbos will host William Smith College (14-4-1), the Northeast Region champ. "Coming into the season, I thought we could be pretty good," Tufts second-year coach Martha Whiting said, "but then as the season went along, we just focused on one game at a time and all of a sudden we find ourselves in the national quarterfinals. I'm not sure I ever envisioned we'd get this far." Tufts won the NCAA New England crown and hosted a national quarterfinal game in 1998. The Jumbos lost to Ithaca College, 1-0 in two overtimes, despite out-playing the Bombers. Posted 11-6-00
