The team has won five of its first six games to start the year, most recently falling to #3 Stanford last week 4-5. With their 9-0 sweep over Tufts, the team won the NESCAC conference title for the 18th consecutive time. This loss was the first since January 2024 as they had won 18 consecutive matches.
