The Lowdown: It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday...
Tufts looks for their first Friday victory of the season, while Amherst looks to get back on track in Friday games after a tough 3-2 loss to Bowdoin last week. Amherst went on to blank Colby on Saturday to finish out the week. Tufts is undefeated in 2013 after a 3-2 win over Canton last Saturday. The Jumbos were happy to see the calendar flip, after losing their last four games of 2012.
Key (s) to the game: Defense, Defense, Defense
The game features the worst defense in the NESCAC vs the best defense in the NESCAC and country. If Tufts wants to win, they better play stellar defense, because it is unlikely they will get many scoring chances.
Players to watch
Tufts: Kyle Gallegos (F, Jr) The Jumbos leading scorer and Colorado native will need to try and score against the vaunted Amherst defense.
Amherst: Johnny Van Siclen (F, Sr.) Great name and the stats to back it up.
